The Jewish families of the Bondi Beach terror attack victims are demanding the prime minister set up a national royal commission, saying he owes Australians “the truth.”

In an open letter, the 17 families called on Anthony Albanese to immediately implement an inquiry into the rise of anti-Semitism in Australia and examine the failures of law enforcement, intelligence and policy in the lead up to the massacre.
