Minister for Aged Care and Seniors Sam Rae has said this morning there are “lessons to be learned” from the antisemitism royal commission, and that the government will pay close attention to where improvements can be made to keep Australians safe.
Yesterday, the royal commission into antisemitism resumed and heard from police and security agencies about the handling of security and intelligence linked to the shooters who opened fire on a Jewish festival at Bondi Beach in December, killing 15 people.
NSW Police did not conduct a risk assessment for the festival, the commission heard, even as the national terrorism threat was considered “probable” and Jewish groups raised fears of an attack.
