This is a non-partisan campaign to unite Australians in support of a Commonwealth Royal Commission into the Bondi terror attacks and antisemitism. We are people of many backgrounds, cultures, and faiths, standing together for a safer, more harmonious Australia.

15 innocent lives were lost on Bondi Beach because of Jew hatred

The gunmen were motivated by something which has become all too common in Australia
- antisemitism

Jewish Australians send their children to school under armed guard. They worship in places which have been hardened against bomb attacks. They live their lives under constant fear – a fear which came true on 14/12.

If we cannot define the issue,
we cannot solve the problem.

A Royal Commission into antisemitism is essential to uncover the festering environment of hatred which led to this attack.

Why a Commonwealth Royal Commission?

Antisemitism in Australia is a national issue.
 
While the Bondi Beach tragedy occurred in Sydney, it resulted from a problem that requires a response from the Commonwealth Government. Antisemitism is not just a New South Wales problem – it is an Australian problem.
 
Radicalisation pathways, funding streams, online platforms, intelligence collection, border control, telecommunications regulation, and counter-terrorism laws all fall substantially within Commonwealth responsibility.
 

Commonwealth agencies have the ability to examine the full national picture and play a critical role in identifying, detecting and combating extremism.

A federal royal commission is uniquely placed to:
  • Address nationwide issues, including the role of new and traditional media in the spread of antisemitism and its proliferation on university campuses;
  • Examine the interaction between Commonwealth and state institutions;
  • Assess the adequacy of national counter-extremism frameworks;
  • Investigate systemic gaps or weaknesses across jurisdictions; and
  • Make recommendations capable of consistent national implementation.

Federal remit

Without a federal remit, any inquiry risks producing findings that are partial and do not reflect the scale, complexity, or interconnected nature of the problem.
The protection of Australians from antisemitism is not a political issue. It is a moral one and goes to the very heart of a government’s responsibility to protect its citizens.

Federal royal commission

A federal royal commission, properly constituted and with appropriate terms of reference, would strengthen Australia’s legal and democratic resilience.

Australia’s Jewish community warned us for two years. They are furious to be proved right

We must end the unprecedented harassment, intimidation and violence directed at the Australian Jewish community since October 7, 2023.

The attack on Jewish Australians at Bondi Beach was a moment of surreal evil,” Mr French said. “It has given rise to a moral imperative on the Australian nation as a whole

It’ll take a bit longer to come up with the results, but for the reasons that many people are putting forward, and it seems to be the popular idea of how to go about that very, very important investigation.

Former Greens Leader
Paul Howes

As business leaders and proud Australians committed to upholding our values of tolerance and mutual respect, we recognise the need for clear answers as to how the Bondi massacre could occur, and for practical solutions to restore social cohesion and protect the safety of all Australians.
