Royal Commissioner Recommends National Firearms Agreement
The Royal Commission on Antisemitism and Social Cohesion released an interim report containing 14 recommendations. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese had previously resisted calls for the commission, citing concerns regarding the length of the process. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese stated that the commission's findings suggest a review of federal law enforcement and intelligence agencies is necessary. Albanese noted that certain processes could risk providing a platform for antisemitic views. The commission's work follows an announcement by the Prime Minister on January 8 to address social cohesion. Commissioner Bell will continue inquiries over the coming months to meet the terms of reference. The final report is due on December 14, exactly one year after the Bondi terror attack. Public hearings are expected to be the next stage of the process.
