ABC NewsRadio AU Sydney 13d13d Impact 5

Alex Rivchen, Co-Chief Executive of the Executive Council of Australian Jewry, stated that a Royal Commission should investigate how police resourcing decisions were made ahead of the Bondi event. Actions taken include bolstering security agency resources, tackling anti-Semitism, cracking down on hate preachers, and delivering tougher gun laws. Albanese noted that the government brought parliament back in January to pursue these measures, though full parliamentary support for all objectives was not achieved. The inquiry follows a spate of anti-Semitic attacks in the United Kingdom. The source described the situation in the UK as a national security emergency. The shooting, which occurred during a Hanukkah celebration, killed 15 people and was Australia's deadliest mass shooting in 30 years.

Linda Ben Menache, President of the National Council of Jewish Women Australia, discussed the findings in Sydney. The incident was described as a shock but not a surprise by a community representative. This follows a previous incident involving a Jewish charity in Henden and counterterrorism police activity in Goldus Green. These attacks are part of a series of antisemitic incidents occurring since October. The victims have been identified as 34-year-old Shloimer Rand and 76-year-old Moshe Shine. The attack follows a series of antisemitic incidents in London since October, including petrol bomb attacks and vehicle-ramming.
