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.

people are withdrawing from Adelaide writers week faster than can be reported. In addition to the names listed here are Ren Wyld, Emma Shortis, and Fiona Katsaukas. Important detail: the only creative, Stephen Page, has left the Adelaide Festival board.

As a former Director of Adelaide Writers' Week I am appalled that the Adelaide Festival Board has rescinded Dr Randa Abdel-Fattah's invitation to the 2026 AWW, explicitly linking its decision to the shattering crimes in Bondi.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

Albanese’s government has accepted the IHRA definition of antisemitism and installed a Zionist lobbyist to oversee Australian life from our media to education, arts and culture. This govt is not on the side of ordinary Australians, nor on the side of the law, and absolutely not ethics or morality.
The Albanese govt should investigate the Israeli regime's foreign interference:
- deliberate & dangerous conflation of antisemitism with legitimate criticism of the genocidal, apartheid state
- targeting of Australians like Omar exercising free speech
- activities of Israel govt proxies. #auspol

You know what, I’m feeling marginally less flippant about this insanity now that I know I’m on a list in a dossier prepared by the Israeli Ministry of Diaspora Affairs as a “key influencer” of antisemitism. This is munted.
