Today at Bondi beach Australian sporting legend Dawn Fraser gave a speech for the ages.
It will echo from the corridors of Canberra to the breakfast tables of Balmain.
She specifically called out the lack of leadership from our Government and called on the Prime Minister’s to do the ‘right thing’ and call a Royal Commission into antisemitism and the events leading up to the Bondi massacre.
She said:
“Today I have flown to Sydney with my daughter for the sole reason to stand in unity with my fellow Australian Athletes to show my support for the Jewish community and to say: I’M SO VERY SORRY for my country and its leaders not protecting each and every one of you and your families, wonderful people that chose to come to this country and live in safety, peace, and inclusion, but on 14 December 2025 we failed you.
In the 88 years of my life, living, loving, and representing this truly great country, I have NEVER seen so much hate and division, and this breaks my heart.
We have always been a country of inclusion, diversity, and love, but unfortunately, that has disappeared.
I will stand with anyone that loves my country, that respects my country, that wants to see my country prosper.
I will also call out people that have done the wrong thing and who have not stood up for this great country.
And to you, Anthony Albanese, Tony Burke, Penny Wong, come down off your high horse and stop trying to run for cover. If the Jewish community is calling for a royal commission, then do the right thing by this community that has suffered enough.
This is not about the spineless and weak; it’s about doing the right thing.”
