A collective of the Labor Party faithful have added their signatures to a new open letter calling for a royal commission into the Bondi terror attack.

It is the latest group to push for the formal investigation as pressure mounts on Prime Minister Anthony Albanese to launch a royal commission into the mass shooting that claimed 15 lives and injured 40 others on Dec. 14, 2025.
