- Bondi royal commission: report calls for better policing of Jewish festivals after ‘high’ terror risk flagged for Hanukah event
A royal commission interim report found that Sydney's Jewish community warned police of a 'high' terror threat at the December Chanukah by the Sea festival at Bondi Beach, but New South Wales police failed to conduct a comprehensive risk assessment. The report, which examined agencies' actions before the attack that killed 15 people, called for improved coordination of policing at Jewish festivals and events, though it found no legal gaps preventing the shooting.
