Such a double standard from police and politicians.
Far right violence and activism doesn’t get nearly the attention or response needed.
דער קערפער פֿון השם"Notwithstanding that The #AJN‘s #poll this week has found readers have little confidence in the #RoyalCommission that held its opening hearing this week, we implore our community to keep an open mind.
The heinous #terrorist attack at #BondiBeach on December 14, 2025 that left 15 dead did not happen in a vacuum; indeed, we campaigned for a Royal Commission to look into the festering environment of hate that led to it.
Some in our community have questioned the government’s motives after #PrimeMinister #AnthonyAlbanese resisted calling the inquiry for 25 days. Some have also expressed concerns the proceedings may be hijacked."

Queen 1066Well it has started. I’ve put my first submission in. Mainly asking if they are going to put a proper definition of #antisemitism out. Didn’t really say anything else.
I think she will an excellent job with her brief. I doubt if will do anything on social cohesion but they will put some pretty words out on it. #royalcommission
EndemicEarthlingIn choosing to adopt the controversial & widely discredited #IHRA definition (doing so against the advice of many experts, including the author of the definition, who warns against its use for purposes linked to government regulative activity), the Royal Commission set up by the #Albanese #ALP federal government after the #BondiMassacre has now become the Royal Commission into Criticism of Israel, rather than what it claims to be, a Royal Commission into Antisemitism.
It is not antisemitic to uphold #HumanRights, #InternationalLaw and oppose a #genocide. It *is* antisemitic to conflate legitimate criticism of Israel with hatred of all Jewish people as such.
By making this move, the Commissioner has shifted the focus of investigation away from some of the very factors most responsible for the recent rise in *actual* hatred towards Jewish people as such. This will seriously impede the ability of the Commission to reach useful insights. Instead, it will likely result in shifting blame (implicitly or explicitly) onto those standing up for the lives and dignity of Israel's victims, including onto survivors, as well as relatives and friends of victims of genocide, torture, forced displacement and starvation.

Australia is starting a major national investigation to stop hate after the Bondi attack. This is a bigger step than previous state-level plans to ensure all citizens feel safe.

Thinking today of mob around this continent feeling unnoticed and unwanted (again).
If (almost) any other community had been targeted by an attempted mass murder (likely mass casualty bombing attack) at a gathering marking a sacred day of mourning, do you think it might have made a few more headlines? Might there be a bit more discussion in parliament? Calls for a #RoyalCommission, extensive community discussion of how to address the pervasive #racism very likely at the root of the attack?
There already exists a comprehensive national #antiracism strategy developed over years in consultation with a wide number of relevant experts and stakeholders. It was delivered to the federal government and tabled in parliament over a year ago. The government is yet to respond.
Instead, the duopoly reaches for knee-jerk rushed legislation, atrociously designed, with almost no opportunity for genuine scrutiny, that relies purely on the discredited approach of further #CriminalisationOfDissent Indeed, the existence of these laws is already being weaponised by the #MurdochPress against the very group targeted by the attempted bomb attack, claiming that #Indigenous criticisms of white Australia are racist hate speech and the groups organising the #InvasionDay rallies ought to be proscribed.
Jesus wept.
