Australia to Review Law Enforcement and Intelligence Agencies After Bondi Attack
Prime Minister Albanese announces review in response to Bondi Beach terrorist attack.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has ordered a review of Australia's federal law enforcement and intelligence agencies following the Bondi Beach terrorist attack in December 2025. The review, to be conducted by the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet and led by former defence and foreign affairs secretary Dennis Richardson, will examine whether agencies have adequate powers, structures, and information-sharing processes to prevent such attacks. The review comes after questions were raised about ASIO's handling of Naveed Akram, one of the attackers, who was checked in 2019 but not monitored afterward. The review will be completed by the end of April 2026. Critics including former treasurer Josh Frydenberg and former PM Scott Morrison continue to call for a royal commission instead, arguing the review is insufficient.
