For a man known more for his ability as a disc-jockey than for his intestinal fortitude, a royal commission is a risk too great for the “handsome boy” raised by a pensioner mother in a housing commission flat.

Our Prime Minister lacks the personal courage to do what both his peers and the majority of Australians want him to do – and that is hold a royal commission into what factors contributed to the killing of Jews on the beach at Bondi?

CARTEL

There is a strong anti-Jewish, anti-Israel cartel in the ALP and the Australia trade union movement.

What’s more ominous, it appears that the Prime Minister, the Foreign Minister Penny Wong and the Minister for Home Affairs, Tony Burke, are part of it.

The links between Labor and the union movement in Australia are well documented.

Less well known in Australia is a movement called “Unionists for Palestine” who claim they are rank and file unionists in Australia campaigning for a free Palestine.

They claim, among many other things that since October 2023 Israeli forces have killed at least 42,000 people, including 16,700 children.

They also claim that Israel has systematically targeted and murdered doctors, nurses, aid workers and journalists because of the work they do.

Albanese has strong links with the Transport Workers Union (TWU) and Tony Burke is a paid-up member of the Shop, Distributive & Allied Employees Association (SDA) trade union.

Senator Wong worked for the union movement after she had qualified as a lawyer; she has identified as a union member and has received union support during her political career.

It is estimated that at least one third of all Labor MPs have union experience. At Labor conferences the Party allocates 50 per cent of delegate representation to the union movement.

The unions fund, control and own the Australian Labor Party.

In February 2025 the Australian Electoral Commission announced that the unions had given Labor more than $6.5m in the previous year; up from $5.5m the year before.

Unlike almost all other leaders on western democracies, neither Albanese, Wong nor Burke have visited the kibbutzim in Israel where more than a thousand Jews – men, women, children and babies – were slaughtered by Hamas in October 2023.

Following that slaughter, two synagogues in Australia were fire bombed; there were numerous attacks in Jewish installations; armed guards were employed by Jewish schools and Jewish children were told not to wear their school uniform in public.

Muslim supporters of Hamas in Australia, led by their imams, held public rallies celebrating the killing of those Jews and calling for the elimination of Israel.

The police and the federal government did nothing to curb that incitement to kill.

In 2024 calendar year alone, 75 acts of criminal damage and desecration of Jewish property were recorded.

In the 12 months leading up to September 2025 there were 33 cases of arson and vandalism, 18 of which were classified as major incidents.

The rise in antisemitism in Australia is palpable – and the Federal Government did all it could to ignore the pleas from the Jewish community for action to protect them and their faith.

In 1948, Labor Minister for External Affairs Doc Evatt in the Chifley Government – and a strong supporter of the Zionist movement – and as President of the United Nation General Assembly led the negotiations which resulted in the formation of Israel.

DOYEN

The architects of post-war Labor had strong ties with the State of Israel.

The doyen of Labor and its most famous prime minster in the post WWII era Bob Hawke, told the world that when the bell tolled for Israel it tolled for the world. The bell has now tolled. And it has resonated in Australia.

In 2021 the Labor Party national conference voted not only to confirm its support for a two-State solution, it called on the next Labor government to recognise Palestine as a State.

The motion was authored by the then shadow foreign minister, Penny Wong.

On August 11, 2025, at a meeting of the General Assembly of the United Nations, PM Albanese, accompanied by Wong (together with Canada and the UK) recognised the State of Palestine.

He had received no mandate for such a move from the Australian people. His act of bare faced rebelliousness offended many in Australia and particularly the nation’s Jewish community.

His action was met with disappointment by the US President and with disgust in Washington. America is Israel’s and Australia’s closest friend and military ally.

The PM of Israel told Australia, Canada and the UK that they were rewarding terrorism; they were rewarding Hamas – the killer of at least 1219 Israeli men, women, children and babies.

Hamas co-founder Sheikh Hassan Yousef in the West Bank said: “We welcome Australia’s decision to recognise the State of Palestine and recognise it as an important step towards achieving justice for our people and securing their legitimate rights.”

Twenty-five years ago after visiting Israel, Anthony Albanese, then a junior member of parliament, spoke at a rally in Sydney supporting Palestine and condemning Israel.

A few metres from where he stood a Hezbollah flag was being waved.

In October 2002, more than 20 years ago, Ron Weiser, President of the Zionist Federation of Australia spoke at a Zionist Council Meeting which was attend by Kevin Rudd, who at the time was Labor’s Shadow Foreign Minister.

In his introductory remarks Mr Weiser mentioned Anthony Albanese, who at the time was a member of the Labor Party and a federal MP.

VESTS

Weiser told the audience and Mr Rudd that Anthony Albanbese had been observed marching in Palestinian rallies in Sydney, where elements of the crowd carried Hezbollah and Hamas flags, while others had their children wear plastic suicide vests.

On December 26, 2025, an article in The Australian newspaper revealed that Labor Party members have demanded that Anthony Albanese and NSW Premier Chris Minns “crack down” on widespread antisemitism and inflammatory anti-Israel rhetoric running rampant within the Labor Party.

NSW Labor leadership laid out accusations against branch members, upper house MPs and former foreign minister and NSW Premier Bob Carr, who it claims has labelled Jewish groups a “foreign influence operation”.

The same man, Bob Carr, in 1977 co-founded with Bob Hawke the group, Labor Friends of Israel.

In August 2025, Labor figures – including, again, Bob Carr, Ed Husic (Australia’s first Muslim MP), Alison Byrnes MP and NSW Senator Tony Sheldon – marched accompanied by a poster of the Muslim Ayatollah Khamenei, the Iranian global leader of Jewish hatred.
