Unfortunately the author removed the PROD along with the maintenance templates with no explanations at all so here we are. I still confirm and echo my PROD: "Seemingly non-notable as my searches found several links at Books, News and browsers but mostly her local news reports and nothing outstandingly better.".

Rather than being known for "her local news reports", Dr Kohn is known for her leadership role in the interfaith community. She has written several notable books. She was named one of Australia's 50 top intellectuals - a remarkable achievement for a religious commentator. Dr Kohn recently spoke at the G20 Interfaith Summit, she moderates many panels - here's just one example is called on to comment on many different issues; such as this conflict within Jewish media and her comments on the man at the centre of Australia's most recent hostage crisis made her a target of notorious Australian right-wing shock jock Andrew Bolt. In sum - Rachael Kohn is far more than "just a local reporter" in Australia, she is a significant public figure, well known to many people in the Australian community, and meets the requirements for notability.
