‘Weak’: Albo Hits Back After Bondi U-Turn
The royal commission will examine anti-Semitism, law enforcement and immigration responses, and social cohesion following the Bondi attack that killed 15, with a report due by Dec 4.
- Thursday, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese announced he would recommend establishing a Commonwealth royal commission into the Bondi terror attack that killed Fifteen people.
- After weeks of pressure from community and leaders, Albanese had resisted calls citing national security and social cohesion despite appeals by victims' families and the Executive Council of Australian Jewry.
- Former High Court Justice Virginia Bell will serve as commissioner, Dennis Richardson AC's independent review will be folded into the inquiry, and James Allsop and Michael Lee were floated as potential commissioners on Thursday.
- NSW Premier Chris Minns confirmed the state inquiry will not proceed and pledged full cooperation, while federal Cabinet endorsed the move and prepared Letters Patent to King Charles; officials said legal actions against alleged shooter Naveed Akram will not be jeopardised.
- The royal commission's report will be due by December 4 and could inform legislation on firearms and laws targeting `hate preachers` while probing anti‑Semitism and agency responses.
