Albanese announces royal commission into Bondi terror attack

PM Albanese announces royal commission into Bondi terror attack to promote healing and investigate anti-Semitism, amid public pressure.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has announced a royal commission into the Bondi terror attack, responding to mounting public pressure. The inquiry aims to help the nation heal and learn from the tragedy that claimed 15 lives.

The royal commission will replace a state-led investigation and be chaired by former High Court judge Virginia Bell. Albanese confirmed the inquiry could examine government decision-making and promised full cooperation with requests for evidence.

While the announcement was welcomed by advocacy groups, some families of the victims expressed disappointment over the lack of prior consultation. The terms of reference will prioritise tackling anti-Semitism while also leaving space to investigate other forms of hate, including Islamophobia.
