Senior government ministers have acknowledged and expressed respect for calls for a federal royal commission into the Bondi terror attack. Despite these appeals, the government maintains its commitment to a narrower review focused on intelligence agencies.
Health Minister Mark Butler stated the government respects the "sincere" and "heartfelt" calls for a royal commission, affirming that the focus remains on "urgent and immediate work." Treasurer Jim Chalmers echoed similar sentiments, noting that calls for a royal commission "come overwhelmingly from a good place" and that the government respects those voices.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is expected to address the matter further.
