Families of victims of the Bondi Beach shooting, which authorities have classified as an antisemitic terrorist attack, are demanding a national royal commission into the rise of antisemitism and alleged failures in law enforcement and intelligence. Seventeen families penned a letter to Prime Minister Anthony Albanese urging immediate action and answers. Albanese has resisted a federal inquiry, favoring a New South Wales-led commission and proposing reforms to gun and hate speech laws, stating a need for urgent action over "division and delay."
