Summarize this content to 2000 words in 6 paragraphs A little earlier, we covered comments that Liberal senator Jane Hume made this morning, in which she accused Prime Minister Anthony Albanese of “emboldening and enabling” antisemitic crimes including the firebombing of the Adass Israel synagogue in Melbourne and the vandalism of cars and buildings in Sydney’s east last month.We already detailed her remarks to Seven’s Sunrise, but she also made similar comments in an interview with ABC’s RN Breakfast. “Anthony Albanese was four days late to what even he conceded was a terrorist attack, four days; no wonder the Jewish community have been disappointed,” Hume said.Liberal senator Jane Hume.Credit: Alex Ellinghausen“More importantly, though, they’ve been looking for leadership on this issue for a considerable period of time now, since the October 7 attacks, and because the government has prevaricated, because it has used weasel words and mushy, washy language.”Hume continued that it seemed the perpetrators of the offences had “been emboldened, if not enabled, by a government that has failed to take the leadership that the Jewish community are looking for”.LoadingAsked if it was fair to say the government had “emboldened” people to torch a car, Hume claimed, “These crimes have gone unpunished. They’ve gone unrecognised.”Two suspects in November’s Woollahra vandalism were charged and refused bail. Police are still searching for the perpetrators of the synagogue firebombing and the latest Woollahra vandalism incident.ABC’s RN Breakfast host Patricia Karvelas challenged Hume on her claim, saying: “Police are doing their job. ‘Enabled’ is a really strong word, senator, to say that the federal government has enabled this kind of violence.”“They have; they could have done so much more and so much sooner,” Hume said.Read more on these comments from chief political correspondent David Crowe here.
