In its careful way, the Bondi royal commission report is still damning

Australia's counter-terrorism response was significantly deprioritized after 2019, Justice Virginia Bell's interim royal commission report finds into the Bondi attack that killed fifteen people. ASIO cut its Counter-Terrorism Division to two branches while espionage divisions expanded, and the Counter-Terrorism Coordinator role was reduced to part-time despite repeated terrorist warnings. The report suggests institutional response failed to match escalating threat assessments.
