Dr Toben told The Weekend Australian he took issue with the Jewish<br />

News headline and his belief on the Holocaust ‘was never the subject of<br />

the apology’.<br />

‘If the below interpretation (the Jewish News article) is consistent with the<br />

court order, I'm withdrawing from the consent agreement,’ Dr Toben<br />

said.<br />

‘The interpretation was not explicitly or implicitly canvassed before the<br />

consent agreement was written up.’<br />

The court has ordered Dr Toben to remove website material that judge<br />

Catherine Branson found in 2002 had breached the Racial Discrimination<br />

Act. The postings implied the Holocaust did not happen and doubted the<br />

existence of gas chambers at Auschwitz concentration camp. Dr Toben<br />

has also been banned from publishing material implying Jews who were<br />

offended or challenged by Holocaust denial were of limited intelligence,<br />

and material implying some Jewish people had exaggerated the number of<br />

Jews killed in World War II and the circumstances for financial gain.<br />

Australian Jewish News editor Ashley Browne said the newspaper stood<br />

by its report.<br />

‘We reported the story based on what we understood to be the case, and<br />

that he (Dr Toben) was under a lot of pressure to give an apology,’ Mr<br />

Browne said.<br />

‘We stand by our report and our version of events.’<br />

Steven Lewis, representing Jeremy Jones, who brought the action against<br />

Dr Toben to force him to comply with the court orders, said the case<br />

might resume next year if Dr Toben refused to remove the material.<br />

‘I've always had a concern that Mr Toben may do his own thing, and it<br />

appears those concerns have been justified,’ Mr Lewis said.<br />

‘We can't control headlines.’<br />

For the record, I have never stated anywhere that ‘Dr Toben has also been banned<br />

from publishing material implying Jews who were offended or challenged by<br />

Holocaust denial were of limited intelligence’. This formulation was made by<br />

Justice Branson in her Orders in 2002.<br />

This time I had explained to Akerman that we cannot be called ‘deniers’<br />

because how can you deny that which never happened?<br />

Toben’s home and on offensive<br />
