PM Declares Tough Review on Bondi Terror, Remembers NSW Politics Exist
KEY POINTS
- â˘Prime Minister Anthony Albanese ordered a major review of AFP and Asio procedures after the December 2025 Bondi beach attack.
- â˘Despite calls for a federal royal commission, Albanese initially resisted but expressed full support for a Commonwealth-led inquiry.
- â˘The review aims to explore not only the day of the attack but also the broader buildup, emphasizing coordinated efforts beyond NSW.
On December 22, 2025, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese heroically ordered a 'major review' into AFP and Asio's lead-up to the Bondi beach attack, carefully tiptoeing around calls for a federal royal commissionâexcept he totally supports one! Amid the NSW Coalition's split over new gun reforms, Albanese insists terrorism laughs off borders but NSW apparently can't manage investigations alone. He dramatically declared Australia needs answers 'not just on the day, but the whole buildup,' all while encouraging folks to freely express opinions after the totally unpopular 'terrorist designation.' It's a Sydney beach drama featuring politics, protests, and a side of bureaucratic tug-of-war that might finally let the sun shine on police procedures!

When terrorism breaks borders but parliament canât cross the aisle, Australia offers a royal commission sequel nobody asked for starring Anthony Albanese and the NSW Coalition split. Beach day just got dramatically bureaucratic.
Terrorism doesnât stop at borders, but apparently neither do splits in the Coalition over gun laws. Australiaâs new sport: political hot potato at Bondi.
PM Aloofly avoids full royal commission but does a review that reviews other reviewsâbecause why solve things when you can investigate endlessly?
