The Royal Commission on Antisemitism and Social Cohesion is in a critical phase of examining the circumstances surrounding the Bondi terror attack. Multiple reports say the commission’s public hearing includes testimony and evidence focused on how quickly the attack unfolded. According to accounts cited by outlets, 11 people are shot during a very short period—described as roughly 29 to under 30 seconds—in what witnesses and investigators characterize as Australia’s deadliest terror attack.
The reports also indicate the inquiry is examining broader operational and security concerns. The West Australian says security agencies face scrutiny, including questions about intelligence failures. ABC Australia frames the commission’s work as assessing the circumstances around the attack, while other outlets describe the hearing as hearing “new details” and emphasize the speed of the shooting.
All accounts agree the commission is reviewing the Bondi attack, with a public hearing that centers on the timeline of the shootings and related issues for authorities, including intelligence and security preparedness.
