Inquiry Head Asks to Delay Report So It Doesn't Land on Bondi Attack Anniversary

The official leading Australia's antisemitism inquiry, Commissioner Virginia Bell, finished hearing evidence on 26 August 2026. She wants four extra days — until 18 December — to deliver her findings, because the current deadline, 14 December, marks one year since the Bondi terror attack. Jewish community members feared the report would draw attention away from that day of remembrance.
