Measuring freedom and religious equality in Australia
A critical review by Israel Getzler of Measuring Freedom Measuring Freedom Neither Toleration Nor Favour covering Australian Jewish emancipation and state aid for religious institutions. It contrasts Getzler scholarly distance with Mark Braham’s polemical but personal critique, noting debates over Zionism, anti Zionist sentiment, and the roles of Governors Darling Franklin Pieroy Arthur Wentworth, and the Victorian Jewish Board of Deputies alongside the Australian Jewish Herald closure. The review questions the book’s substantive arguments while acknowledging its vivid, impassioned prose.
