A 42-year-old woman has been charged by NSW Police after allegedly shouting antisemitic slurs, including “F**k the Jews” and “They should have all been eradicated,” at an under-12 girls’ netball match in Sydney’s eastern suburbs.
The incident occurred around 10 a.m. Saturday at Heffron Park netball courts in Maroubra during a game between Maccabi Netball NSW (a Jewish community club) and Saints Netball Club. Witnesses reported that the woman, a spectator supporting the Saints side, directed the comments toward Jewish players and parents on the sidelines.
Police were called to the scene and spoke with the woman, issuing her a move-on direction. Following further inquiries, she was charged on Sunday with using offensive language in or near a public place. She is due to appear at Waverley Local Court on June 17.
