It builds on the work of Laird Wilcox, whose Crying Wolf (PDF) is the original book on this subject. The books Hate Crime Hoax and Hate Crimes: Criminal Law & Identity Politics are also recommended.

No-one has been convicted for recent antisemitic incidents, but the prime minister has hinted that "foreign actors" may be involved. An article in the Sydney Morning Herald claims that the suspects are "low-level crooks" who are uninterested in politics.
