Just 23 percent said the party had a problem with anti-semitism despite the EHRC running an investigation into the issue within the party with 54 percent blaming the media or the political opponents to Mr Corbyn.
Mr Austin said: “The party of today is not the one I grew up in. It has been consumed by a culture of extremism and intolerance.
“Under Jeremy Corbyn’s leadership, Labour has become a safe haven for antisemites. Those who have taken a stand against this corrosive evil within have been intimidated and even driven from the party but we will not be silenced.”
He went to call for “tolerance and respect to be restored to political debate and for extremism to be driven from public life”.
The Party previously said on Twitter: “We completely reject any claim that Labour is antisemitic.
“We stand in solidarity with Jewish people, and we’re taking decisive action to root out the social cancer of antisemitism from our movement and society.
A spokesman said that the Leader of the Opposition “will always do whatever is necessary and effective to keep our people safe, Jeremy has consistently made the correct calls in the interests of Britain’s security and international peace.”
Mr Corbyn has been Labour leader for four years.
Shadow Brexit Secretary Sir Keir Starmer is, according to Oddschecker, bookies favourite to be next Labour leader followed by Shadow Business Secretary Rebecca Long-Bailey, Shadow Education Secretary Angela Rayner and Shadow Foreign Secretary Emily Thornberry.
