Sports Figures Call for Royal Commission into Bondi Terror Attack

Some of Australia’s prominent sporting figures, including Dawn Fraser and Ian Thorpe, are urging Prime Minister Anthony Albanese to initiate a Commonwealth royal commission into the Bondi massacre and the rise of anti-Semitism. Nearly 70 icons signed a statement emphasizing that Australia today is not the nation they represented and highlighting the urgent need for decisive leadership against hate and violence. They stress the importance of understanding the tragedy’s causes to safeguard social harmony and call for immediate action. The Prime Minister has thus far resisted these calls, opting for a review of security agency actions instead.
