Overview
- Port Adelaide said it removed the member‑elected director after a governance review into his social media and podcast activity drew complaints from the Jewish Council of Australia.
- The board asked Tredrea to agree to a club statement that included an apology to the club and those offended by comments made by podcast guest AJ Roberts, and he refused despite repeated chances.
- Roberts had described Israel as a “fake state” and advanced conspiracy claims about World War II and 9/11, statements the Jewish Council criticised as amplifying far‑right antisemitic conspiracy theories.
- The club said the process complied with the Corporations Act and the club constitution and had AFL support, and it stressed the decision does not reflect on Tredrea’s playing legacy.
- Tredrea denied being antisemitic and said his podcast provides a platform for others’ views, and he indicated he will make further statements after today’s dismissal.
