Families of victims from the recent Bondi Beach attack, which targeted a Jewish festival and resulted in 15 deaths, have urged Prime Minister Anthony Albanese to launch a royal commission. They seek an investigation into rising antisemitism since the Israel-Hamas war and alleged security failures. While the families cite ignored warning signs and unchecked extremism, the Prime Minister has resisted a royal commission, stating it would be too time-consuming, and instead proposed alternative measures.
