Australian Prime Minister announces major national inquiry into anti-Semitism following Bondi mass attack

The announcement came after weeks of mounting pressure from parliamentarians across the political spectrum, some Jewish leaders and other public figures such as prominent sportsmen to create a national royal commission rather than a state-only investigation into New South Wales, where the attack took place. Initially, Albanese suggested that such a broad investigation could take too long, but this Thursday he rejected the idea that he had changed his position due to pressure.
