As a former Director of Adelaide Writers' Week I am appalled that the Adelaide Festival Board has rescinded Dr Randa Abdel-Fattah's invitation to the 2026 AWW, explicitly linking its decision to the shattering crimes in Bondi.

A shocking decision that will and should have far-reaching consequences.

The point is that, while criminal proceedings are on foot, a royal commission can't look at anything to do with the Bondi shootings or the shooters, including why and how they did it, that is it can't touch on the subject that is its sole reason for being established. It will achieve nothing.
There's a glaring problem with calls for a royal commission into the Bondi terror attack
Australians deserve answers after the Bondi Beach shooting — but a royal commission won't deliver them.

Great call from Amy & @australiainstitute.org.au.

I stand with Randa
and all those writers, artists, journalists & others who have been cancelled for the sin of daring to stand up for human rights and decency, and question a genocidal rogue state.

I stand against Israel's toxic foreign influence.

I’m still amazed that the sub judice aspect has been ignored in the rolling media campaign for a Bondi royal commission.
In case you’ve not read about it (and why would you) I’ve written about it here:

Hey @albomp.bsky.social here's a good response, it probably won't even offend himself as he doesn't believe any law applies to him, but at least it says "what you are doing is wrong" #auspol

Locking ourselves into an alliance with Mango Mussolini is looking more dangerous, untenable & ridiculous every minute.

AUKUS is a complete & utter millstone around our necks.

Bleeding us dry of taxpayer funds & putting us at ever greater risk.

Quit AUKUS now.
Review all US alliances.

AUKUS is likely the dumbest defence decision Australia has ever made.

$500 billion or more for second hand subs that may never arrive…
While many other areas of our society are suffering from lack of investment…

Rockingham in Perth's south is fast becoming a crucial part of the AUKUS nuclear submarine deal, with promises of a big boost in jobs and infrastructure — but it's also leaving residents afraid for their lives and lifestyle.

CBS News filmed but DIDN'T air this interview in which NYC Rabbi Yisroel Dovid Weiss defends NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani, clarifying that Mamdani is opposed to Zionism and Israel's genocide but he's NOT antisemitic. A Jewish rabbi praising a Muslim Mayor. I wonder why they didn't air it? 🤔 #USPolitics

It's really the bloody obvious, but those wanting to stir up dissent and division aren't troubled by that.
It would be practically and legally impossible to hold a royal commission that goes anywhere near the actions or motivations of the accused killer, before his criminal proceedings are concluded, which could take years. That limitation would render the royal commission itself pointlessly premature.

They are civilians in Australia but I take your point. They should not be allowed to carry arms in Australia
It's worse than civilians, they're largely former IDF guys

Insanity to let civilians have firearms. Keep firearms off Australian streets.
