Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is reconsidering his opposition to a royal commission into the December 14th Bondi attack, which resulted in 15 deaths. Mounting pressure from victims' families, the Law Council of Australia, business leaders, sporting figures, and former Labor MPs is prompting the shift. While Albanese maintains his focus on immediate actions, such as reviewing intelligence and law enforcement, he is now engaging with Jewish community leaders to assess the need for a broader national inquiry. The purpose of the potential inquiry would be to examine all aspects related to the Bondi attack and determine necessary responses. The location of the attack was Bondi, Australia.
