Calls to Extend Antisemitism Royal Commission for Further Testimonies

The Coalition is advocating for an extension of the royal commission investigating antisemitism, highlighting the need for testimonies from the Prime Minister and key figures in the arts and cultural sectors. Liberal MP Julian Leeser emphasized that the inquiry has been hindered without the ability to question these prominent leaders directly.

According to reports, Leeser stated that the inquiry has not fully addressed the concerns it set out to investigate, specifically pointing to the absence of testimonies from critical stakeholders.

Despite the calls for an extension and the inclusion of high-profile witnesses, efforts to expand the royal commission’s timeline and facilitate these inquiries have reportedly failed to gain momentum.
