Explainer: What you need to know
The ECAJ published this article earlier this month to answer common questions about the Royal Commission.
The government established the Royal Commission on Antisemitism and Social Cohesion in the wake of the Bondi Beach attack to inquire into the causes of the extremism and antisemitism that led to the attack.
A Royal Commission is the highest level of inquiry in Australia. It is an independent and public inquiry for matters of national importance.
Antisemitism has become more visible, organised and normalised in Australian society, contributing to the most deadly terrorist attack on Australian soil in our nation’s history. This issue affects not just the Jewish community but all Australians.
What it is
A Royal Commission is an independent, fact-finding, evidence-based public inquiry with significant powers of inquiry, and can compel evidence and produce public reports.
