Bondi royal commission: what more could have been done?

About this episode

The episode discusses the interim report of the royal commission on antisemitism and social cohesion, highlighting its recommendations and the implications for policing Jewish festivals.

The interim report of the royal commission on antisemitism and social cohesion has handed down its first 14 recommendations. It says there is no gap in current laws that could have prevented the shooting. But the 155-page report calls for better policing of Jewish festivals after a ‘high’ terror risk was flagged for the Hanukkah event where 15 people were killed. Reged Ahmad and Ben Doherty discuss why the inquiry’s first findings raise more questions than answers
