Australian Human Rights Commission welcomes Royal Commission

9 January 2026 < 1 min read

The Australian Government has announced the establishment of a Royal Commission following the antisemitic Bondi terror attack. This devastating event deeply affected the victims, their families, the Jewish community, first responders and the broader Australian public.

The Royal Commission will inquire into the prevalence and nature of antisemitism and how to address it, the circumstances behind the Bondi attack, strengthening social cohesion and countering ideologically and religiously motivated extremism.

The Commission welcomes the announcement of the Royal Commission. We look forward to engaging with the Royal Commission and supporting its important work to help prevent future tragedies and to promote a safer, more inclusive Australia for all.
