Premier receives fiery reception at Jewish Community Council of Victoria event.
Allan was a guest on Wednesday night at an annual event in the city put on by the Jewish Community Council of Victoria and Zionism Victoria to commemorate Israel’s 1948 declaration of independence..

We could not reach him for comment on Thursday.When you’re the wealthiest person in a country that drones on endlessly about “tall poppy syndrome”, you’ve got to accept a level of piss-taking as part of the job description.– who has copped her fair share of, ahem, good-natured banter lately – appears to be taking some of it, at least, in good humour.
