‘We need to know’: Bondi victims’ families demand federal royal commission from PM

Families of victims killed in the Bondi shooting on December 14th are demanding a federal royal commission from Prime Minister Anthony Albanese to investigate antisemitism in Australia. The open letter, signed by relatives of 11 victims, describes antisemitism as a "national crisis" requiring a strong national response. The families state that Jewish Australians feel unsafe in various settings, including schools, workplaces, homes, and public spaces. They are also raising questions about law enforcement issues related to the Bondi attack, which resulted in 15 deaths at a Hanukah event. The families are seeking a comprehensive inquiry into the prevalence and handling of antisemitism in the country.
