With candidates vying for votes, Australian Jews win security pledge

 
Australian tax money used to protect Jews -- As the Australian federal election nears and this country' major political parties vie for the Jewish vote, the prime minister and opposition leader have pledged significant support to help offset the community's spiraling security costs.
Prime Minister John Howard's government announced that donations related to Jewish security would be tax deductible. The same day, Howard's opponent, Kevin Rudd (illustration) of the Labor Party, unveiled his own plan. It features a $17 million fund over four years to help at-risk schools counter terror threats that Rudd said would be largely available for Jewish schools.
The government's tax-deductibility plan includes the launching of an organization called the Council for Jewish Security. It will be run by Australian Jewry's main body, the Executive Council of Australian Jewry.
Council President Grahame Leonard described the move as "a major, major breakthrough" for the Australian Jewish community. He estimated the annual cost of security for its assets -- numerous schools, synagogues and community centers -- at about A$20 million.
