Anti-Defamation Commission
The Anti-Defamation Commission (ADC) is a Jewish-Australian community organisation that was originally founded by B'nai B'rith to combat antisemitism in Australia (originally as the B'nai B'rith Anti-Defamation Commission).[1][2][3] The ADC's efforts have resulted in academic scrutiny of trends of fascism in Australia with emerging research on activists and militia movements that have promoted antisemitic views.[4] The group is a former division of B'nai B'rith in Melbourne,[5] Data collection on antisemitic incidents in Australia is a focus of the Anti-Defamation Commission. Aside from the ADC, the Executive Council of Australian Jewry also collects data on antisemitism in Australia.[6]
