THE United States Government’s Special Envoy for Monitoring and Combating Anti-Semitism, Dr Gregg Rickman, is visiting Australia this week.
US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice appointed Dr Rickman in 2004, and said his newly created role would “enhance the US Government’s international efforts to combat anti-Semitism”.
It is believed Dr Rickman will visit both Sydney and Melbourne and while in Melbourne he plans to discuss the case of Senior Constable Terry Moore, who was off-duty when driving a busload of football players who racially abused Menachem Vorchheimer and his children as they walked home from synagogue in October 2006.
Moore is yet to be disciplined by Victoria Police for allegedly interfering to prevent Vorchheimer’s attackers from being identified and for not doing more to stop the attack.
Vorchheimer, who has been living with his family in the United States for the past few months, has been pursuing Moore through Victoria’s Equal Opportunity and Human Rights Commission.
