With fifteen questions Australia ends 2025 knowing that the Bondi terror attack has laid bare the truth of political antisemitism in its country. To stamp it out, we must know how it got here and how it reached its horrific peak. In order to eradicate it, we therefore must ask:

Q1: What is the impact of the Albanese Government’s recognition of “Palestine” emboldening Hamas to continue its reign of terror in Gaza, thereby derailing regional peace per the Trump Plan?

Q2: What is the impact of the Albanese Government’s internationally disproportionate intake of Gazans and the welcoming back of “ISIS brides”?

Q3: What is the impact of federal, state, territorial and local governments permitting weekly pro-Palestine, pro-Hamas and anti-Zionist protests and marches; their blind eye to street harassment; their display of Palestinian flags on government buildings; and official calls for the boycott of Israel?

Q4: What is the impact of the federal government’s refusal to repudiate claims of “genocide”, “famine” and the “deliberate targeting of civilians” by Israel in Gaza, and of “apartheid” in Israel thereby goading Point 3?

Q5: What is the impact of the role of academia, and school and university curricula in the curtailment of pluralistic thought and the radicalisation of children’s classrooms and adult campuses?

Q6: What is the impact of pro-Hamas media bias in coverage of the terror attack on Israel of October 7 2023, its aftermath and subsequent coverage of the war against Hamas in Gaza including sources used and admissions of anti-Israel errors thereby made?

Q7: What is the impact of the radicalisation of mosques, churches and recently self-proclaimed left wing “Jewish councils”?

Q8: What is the impact of Labor’s decades-long national pro-Palestine party platform, on left wing agitation?

Q9: What is the impact of alleged bias in the ADF, law enforcement and justice?

Q10: What is the impact of Prime Minister Albanese’s personal involvement in anti-Zionist protests, his wearing of Holocaust-themed attire, and the involvement of other ministers and public servants?

Q11: What is the impact of the “Radical Perversion of Islam” (as Prime Minister Albanese has recently called it) including the written jihadist covenants, manifestos and charters of Hamas, Hezbollah, ISIS and the Muslim Brotherhood, and other groups based in Asia and North Africa?

Q12: What is the impact of Christian Fundamentalism, White Supremacism, Black Lives Matter, Atheism, and Communism?

Q13: What is the impact of state actors in Iran and China specifically, and broader Asia, North Africa, South America, the Gulf and Mideast?

Q14: What is the impact of government policies and opinion in the UK, Canada, France, EU and the US Democratic Party?

Q15: What is the susceptibility to gaslighting and propaganda in the Australian population and what threat does it pose?

If only Germany had asked that last question of itself before 1933.

No other mechanism but a fully empowered, broad-based Royal Commission into antisemitism can answer these questions while also investigating their overarching impact on Australia’s non-Jewish and broader social fabric. The Albanese Government can’t investigate itself.

And if other investigations spawn from this overall commission, it’s all well and good for the nation.

The Albanese Government cannot be permitted to ignore what its negligently conducted pro-Palestine platform has manifested in Australia. This major act of terror means it must be held to public account. Australia cannot be endangered by the exploitation of short memory and obfuscation.

Italy’s Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni this month declared an end to the assault on her country’s cultural values by Islamist Extremism. With a touch of sarcasm she called 2025 a “tough” year for the West. She was deadly sincere when she said that 2026 will be “worse”.
