Calls for young people to not ‘recycle rubbish’ fed by extremists on social media

Sky News host Erin Molan has called for the encouragement of young people to “open their eyes” and not “recycle rubbish fed to them on social media from extremists”.

Ms Molan’s comments come after she hosted the Tom Hughes Oration at the Sydney Opera House.

“The reason Mr Leeser determined the Opera House was the right location for this event … the ‘claiming back’ of a place that brought international shame on this country,” Ms Molan said.

“To prove that the Opera House belongs to all Australians, Jewish included, and that it will not be defined by those horrific images of the celebration of death and slaughter that went around the world on October 9 last year.

“In the audience, there were Australians of all different backgrounds and faiths, and the desire for this country to be united and fight back against extremism of all types was a recurring theme.”
