Prime Minister what are you covering up? What are you hiding? Why are you running from a Royal Commission following the Bondi massacre?
You treat Australians as fools when you say that you don’t want a ‘Royal Commision into the whole functioning of Australia’.
Nobody is asking for that.
What the former Chief Justice, Governor General, Prime Ministers, National Security chiefs, 200 Senior Counsel, Members of Parliament past and present, the Jewish community and today the Dawson family whose daughter was tragically murdered in the Lindt Cafe siege, are all asking for, is a comprehensive, transparent, independent and powerful inquiry, into how Australia’s deadliest terrorist attack could occur despite all the warning signs against the backdrop of an unprecedented escalation of antisemitism and radicalisation in our country.
Prime Minister no more excuses. Australians want answers. Australia needs solutions.
If we don’t learn from this shameful chapter in our history we are doomed to repeat it.
And Prime Minister next time you do a press conference don’t try and use the Lindt Cafe siege as another excuse to dismiss a Royal Commisson.
Because this is what the Dawson family said in response to that claim.
“We are appalled that the prime minister, seeking to avoid a much-needed royal commission into antisemitism and Islamic extremism, would say that we don’t need a royal commission because there wasn’t one into the Lindt siege. The Lindt siege, as horrible as it was, was one devastating incident. The Bondi massacre is just the latest of so many attacks on Jewish Australians that have taken place over the last two years and two months. And there are now more anti-Jewish demonstrations taking place. Our country has become divided, and we must do everything possible to heal that division. A federal royal commission can cut through these sort of constraints and consider the very wide range of issues that need to be examined.”
Prime Minister, please read the Dawson family statement, reflect on their words and don’t delay a day longer in calling a Royal Commission.
