Former Home Affairs secretary Mike Pezzullo has questioned the scope of the Prime Minister’s new Royal Commission into antisemitism, arguing it failed to include radical Islamist extremism despite warnings from security experts.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese announced the Royal Commission on Thursday after weeks of pressure, insisting the decision was the result of ongoing discussions rather than a sudden backflip — despite rejecting the idea just a week earlier. The inquiry will be led by former High Court justice Virginia Bell and will focus on four areas linked to antisemitism.

However, Mr Pezzullo said the government missed an opportunity by not adopting a dual focus. He argued that while antisemitism has traumatised and victimised communities, radical Islamist ideology — not Islam itself — should also have been explicitly included, particularly given federal police have said the recent terror attack was allegedly inspired by ISIS.

Concerns have also been raised about how the Royal Commission will intersect with an existing departmental review led by Dennis Richardson, which Mr Albanese had previously argued was sufficient. That review will now be absorbed into the Royal Commission, with a joint interim report due in April. Mr Pezzullo warned the overlap could complicate the process and force Justice Bell to redo parts of the work, especially as the Royal Commission must also examine the actions of ministers, not just bureaucracy.

The Coalition has pushed for multiple commissioners, while sections of the Jewish community have expressed concern over Justice Bell’s appointment, citing past rulings and perceived closeness to the Albanese government. Community leaders say trust in the inquiry will depend on whether it robustly examines the government’s response to antisemitism and broader security threats.

Anthony Albanese was wise to stay away from the Sydney Cricket Ground this week.

Parsha Message – Shemot

In Parsha Shemot, we learn that oppression continues when leaders refuse to listen. Pharaoh repeatedly ignores the suffering before him, dismisses warnings, and delays action and each delay only deepens the pain.

This week’s parsha feels painfully relevant.

After months of waiting, after repeated demands from victims, the Jewish community, and many Australians, the Prime Minister has finally called a Royal Commission into the Bondi attack. This should have happened long ago.

As in Shemot, the key issue is not only whether action is taken, but when, why, and by whom.

While we welcome the establishment of a Royal Commission, serious concerns remain. The appointment of a commissioner who is widely viewed as close to the Labor Party and aligned with the political left raises legitimate questions about independence and credibility. A Royal Commission must serve the truth and the community not political interests.

Moshe did not remain silent when he saw injustice. Neither should we.

This is only the first step. The Jewish community and the wider Australian public must continue to demand a Royal Commission that is truly independent, fearless, and committed to uncovering the full truth so that such an attack is never allowed to happen again.

Shabbat Shalom.

Polling shows One Nation is the only party with a real chance of beating Labor, while the Liberals trail badly behind. The great switch is on, and One Nation is rising fast.

The Bondi Royal Commission

Albanese says he needed “time to reflect”.

What he meant to say was, when he realised he couldn’t avoid a Royal Commission, he needed time to find a likemind Leftie that would overlook his shortcomings and keep incriminating blemishes off the record (point in case)

It is the Governor General's Job (Sam Mostyn) to appoint 3x independent entities that are unbiased and neutral to the investigation (epic fail)
Let that one sink in for a second....

A Federal Royal Commission will also investigate the actions of the Prime Minister and entities involved/associated, yet Albanese appoints the Royal Commissioner himself for predictable sinister reasons.

He picked a 75-year-old former High Court Justice Virginia Bell AC.​ Sound familiar? It should.
She’s the left choice and a default "favorite" for every sensitive inquiry, a built in safety net per say.

​Australians doesn’t need a rigged inquiry to run a 'pr exercise'. We need a truly independent investigation that isn’t afraid to look at the Government’s own failures, not just a coerced report from a hand-picked failsafe.

Deception has many a faces and mates rates pay the keeps the cogs oiled.

A historic poll signals the end of the old two-party stranglehold.

Fresh polling conducted by DemosAU for Capital Brief, the first voting intention survey of the new year, has delivered a result that that is truly historic . One Nation has drawn level with the Coalition on 23% of the primary vote, marking a breach of Australia’s once entrenched two-party system.

It is the first time a party outside Labor and the Liberals has surged to this level in a national poll, and it comes at the direct expense of both sides of the tired old duopoly.
Labor’s primary vote has slipped to 29%, a figure that DemosAU notes is three points lower than any published poll since the election. In plain English, voters are walking away from Anthony Albanese in numbers he has not faced before.
