Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has resisted calls for a national royal commission in the wake of the mass shooting at Sydney's Bondi Beach. Photo: ReutersThe Jewish families of the Bondi Beach terror attack victims are demanding the Prime Minister set up a national royal commission, saying he owes Australians "the truth". But with a well-led Commonwealth Royal Commission and strong action, you may be able to save many more," the families said. Opposition frontbencher James McGrath said it was not just the coalition that was demanding a royal commission. The organisation had been in contact with NSW Police weeks before the Bondi attack over heightened risks to Hanukkah celebrations, the premier confirmed.
