Jewish leaders who have appeared at the royal commission<\/a>, relaying that they had been happy with the platform they had been given. <\/p>\n\u201cGiven the expense and time that\u2019s gone into the royal commission, and the fact that we\u2019re not going to have another one for a long period of time, we are using this royal commission to get to the fundamental truths of what happened on the day, and also what happened in the lead-up to that day, particularly around antisemitism,\u201d the Premier said, referring to the Bondi mass shooting. <\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m hopeful that it will speak to as large a number of people as possible, and genuinely get the perspective of the community.\u201d<\/p>\n
Independent Jewish advocate Marnie Perlstein, the organiser behind a petition for a royal commission into the Bondi Beach terror attack that attracted 94,000 signatories, launched a new campaign on Sunday for an extension.<\/p>\n
More than 3000 people had signed her new petition as of Monday afternoon and Ms Perlstein urged Commissioner Virginia Bell to request an extension if it was \u201cwhat the public is asking for\u201d.<\/p>\n
Mainstream Jewish community leaders have stayed quiet on the prospect of an extension, but Ms Perlstein said she hoped a petition would show the public\u2019s prevailing view.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt affects potentially every single taxpayer in this country and that the public should have an opportunity to use their voice and have their opinion heard, and they can do that by choosing to sign or not sign the petition,\u201d she told The Australian. \u201cWe will know over the next few days and weeks what the public truly thinks.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s been a gap in terms of holding political leaders to account, those who failed in leadership: our Prime Minister, Tony Burke, Penny Wong, the people who made key decisions after October 7, 2023.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf it was a criminal case, you would call the person accused of a crime to the stand, and the people that are, in my mind, the most guilty of spreading racial hatred in Australia have not been called to give evidence.\u201d<\/p>\n
The federal Coalition last week pushed for Labor to voluntarily extend the commission past its December 14 deadline, but the motion was quickly cut down when the Albanese government voted to gag debate on the issue.<\/p>\n
Opposition education spokesman Julian Leeser and legal affairs spokeswoman Michaelia Cash on Monday seized on Mr Minns\u2019 intervention, the latest in a series of departures from the position of federal Labor on policy addressing antisemitism.<\/p>\n
The pair pushed in a joint statement for the government to volunteer an extension sufficient to address the commission\u2019s \u201csignificant unfinished business\u201d.<\/p>\n
Labor previously voted against a debate on a possible extension of the royal commission moved by Mr Leeser in parliament, while senior ministers have said they respect the commission\u2019s independence and ability to complete its work on the original timeline or seek an extension itself.<\/p>\n
