The report notes that the terrorism threat was raised to 'probable' in August 2024, indicating a greater than 50% chance of an attack. A local police commander was contacted regarding concerns of copycat attacks in areas like St Ives. The report suggests state, Commonwealth, and New South Wales governments must address these findings. Critics argue the government failed to fund counter-terrorism activities despite rising threat levels. The report claims the wrong committee was convened and that the government utilized a part-time rather than a full-time counter-terrorism coordinator. These failures are cited as a concern for Jewish Australians and victims of the Bondi Beach attack. The investigation aims to determine the motives and circumstances surrounding the incident.
