Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has defended his decision to not call a Commonwealth royal commission into the Bondi Beach terror attack, saying it would only delay action.

Albanese detailed legislative changes this afternoon and fielded questions about why a royal commission was not opened, hours after Opposition Leader Sussan Ley urged him to work with her to develop one.

The prime minister said every such investigation has taken longer than expected, and that one running alongside both the NSW royal commission and a federal security review led by Dennis Richardson would slow down the implementation of changes.

"What we need to do is to work immediately," he said.

"That is what the Richardson review will do. And in addition to that, it will feed into the inquiry, which has been announced in NSW. We'll cooperate with that.

"The idea that we would have multiple royal commissions as well as a review running at the same time is going to simply delay action." 

Earlier today, Ley released a draft terms of reference for a Commonwealth royal commission, which she said would have greater reach and powers than a state version announced by NSW Premier Chris Minns.

"In response to the horror at Bondi, the prime minister has announced proposals, but they're too little, they're too late, and they will take too long," she said at a press conference this morning.

"I invite the prime minister to sit down with me immediately to refine and finalise these terms of reference so we can establish a Commonwealth royal commission, before Christmas."

The opposition's proposal for a Commonwealth investigation would be led by three commissioners, comprising a member from the Jewish community, a member with law enforcement and intelligence agency experience and a current or former supreme court judge.

The draft terms of reference include investigating the rise of antisemitism in Australia, the conduct of ministers and departments across all levels of government, the role of radical Islam, far left and far right neo-Nazi extremism and anti-Zionist attitudes and the cooperation between federal and state law enforcement and intelligence agencies.

Under the draft, the royal commission would hand down an interim report and recommendations no later than June 23, 2026.

The opposition will move a motion to establish a Commonwealth royal commission as soon as the federal parliament is recalled.

"We have work to do in order to honour the dead," Ley said while blaming Albanese's actions and inactions for contributing to the Bondi attack.

"We must confront uncomfortable truths, hard truths. That's what this Commonwealth royal commission is about."

But Albanese said the numerous sections and subsections of the opposition's proposal would review the "whole functioning of Australia" and not deliver urgent changes now.

Shadow attorney-general Andrew Wallace said only a Commonwealth royal commission can investigate the full extent of the Bondi attack and the antisemitism since the Hamas attacks on October 7, 2023.

"It is totally inappropriate and insufficient to simply have a state royal commission, which would effectively have its hands tied in dealing with state matters," he said.

"We know that there are likely to be identified many failings as a result of what happened at Bondi, not the least of which certainly cross jurisdictions of our states and territories and our Commonwealth."

Albanese has thrown his support behind a state-based royal commission and announced a landmark gun buyback scheme, laws to combat hate speech and antisemitism and a review into the federal law enforcement and intelligence agencies in the wake of the Bondi attack.

Today, he also confirmed he would introduce a new landmark offence that outlaws the radicalisation of children and give the home affairs minister more powers to cancel or refuse visas if a person is suspected of promoting violence, is engaging in hate speech, is associated with a terrorist organisation or has displayed a hate symbol.

But Albanese has been unable to shake off growing criticism from political figures and the Jewish community, which saw him get booed and heckled at a vigil in Bondi last night and accept responsibility and acknowledge he could have done more last week.

A Resolve Poll conducted for The Sydney Morning Herald has shown Albanese's approval rating has plummeted to the lowest point since the federal election in May.

Ley has failed to gain support and also dipped in approval ratings, with Albanese still leading as the preferred prime minister.

Jewish MP emotional as he attacks PM

Liberal backbencher Julian Leeser, who is Jewish, was visibly emotional as he spoke at the press conference alongside his party leader today.

He was scathing about Albanese's leadership and response to antisemitism since October 7, 2023.

"The Jewish community of this country cannot survive on the crumbs of this government and this appalling prime minister, who is always late to the party and who wants the Jewish community of this country to live in him in his half measures for two years," he said.

"I don't want to see the memories of the 15 Australians who died last Sunday, I don't want to see their memories being desecrated by this half-measured departmental review that is proposed by this prime minister.

"We need nothing short of a royal commission now."

Leeser raised his voice and went as far as to say Albanese's response to the attack was "the most shameful act in the history of our nation".

"Australia stands humiliated by the failure of leadership of this man, by the failure of leadership which has led to the extraordinary deaths in a terrorist act on the shores of Bondi in this great city of ours," he said.

Deputy Nationals leader Bridget McKenzie backed her colleague in the Coalition, adding that "to hate Israel is to hate Jews".

Australia's car safety rating agency has warned passengers not to travel in a brand new Suzuki model after it only scored one star in safety testing.

The Suzuki Fronx, which went on sale in Australia in August this year, has a serious fault with its seatbelts and performed poorly in crash tests, according to a report by ANCAP.

Testing revealed that in a head-on collision, the rear passenger seatbelt retractor failed, resulting in it releasing and sending effectively unrestrained test dummies headfirst into the front seat.

However, ANCAP highlighted the car had already failed the crash test due to the dummies in the rear passenger seats having too much force placed against their chest.

Testing of dummies mimicking a six-year-old and 10-year-old child also recorded excessive neck tension and high head acceleration.

As a result, the Fronx received zero points in the test.

It only received a score of 48 per cent in adult occupant protection and 40 per cent in child occupant protection, with the latter barely meeting the criteria for a one-star rating.

"The one-star rating reflects the Fronx's overall crash performance – particularly the performance of its structure and restraint systems – and is not a consequence of the separate seatbelt component failure," the report said.

Around 1300 Fronx cars have already been sold in Australia.

ANCAP has urged Suzuki to investigate and fix the problems, and said until this happened, it could not recommend passengers travel in the car.

"ANCAP's view is that adult and child passengers should not travel in the rear seats of the Suzuki Fronx," ANCAP CEO Carla Hoorweg said.

"The seatbelt component failure is rare and serious… what concerns us is that this particular vehicle could have been purchased by an ordinary consumer, and in an on-road crash this failure could have had serious consequences for the person sitting in the back seat."

Suzuki Australia said it takes the report seriously.

"A thorough and disciplined investigation is underway, and Suzuki will take any actions required to uphold our safety standards and the trust our customers place in our brand," the company said in a statement.

"This review is being progressed with urgency and at the highest levels of the organisation."

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has outlined a national legislative package targeting hate speech, including a landmark offence which would outlaw the radicalisation of children.

The PM held a national cabinet meeting for the second time in the wake of the Bondi Beach terror attack and zeroed in on a number of sweeping law changes to criminalise spreading hate, division and radicalisation.

Among the fast-tracked changes will be a new aggravated offence which targets adults who seek to influence or radicalise children.

"Since 2001, 120 people have been convicted of terrorism offences, and ten were children," Attorney-General Michelle Rowland said.

"However, today, 17 of the 33 people before our courts are minors.

"This unprecedented radicalisation of our youth must stop.

"We will not allow extremists to groom and brainwash our children into hate or terrorism."

The bill will be drafted over the coming weeks and is expected to be introduced to federal parliament in the new year.

Albanese also said new laws will aim to give the Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke more powers to cancel or refuse visas if a person is suspected of promoting violence, is engaging in hate speech, is associated with a terrorist organisation or has displayed a hate symbol.

"We're looking at changes to hate symbols offences as well, and also looking at changes to the Customs Act to ban importing extremist material or hate symbols," the prime minister said.

The raft of federal legislation will be introduced as a matter of urgency after 15 innocent people were killed on December 14, Albanese said.

"We're not going to let the ISIS-inspired terrorists win. We won't let them divide our society. And we'll get through this together," he said.

Rowland said the vilification offences will be structured alongside consultation with the Jewish community.

The legislation announced today will be pushed in tandem with national gun law reforms, Albanese confirmed.

Albanese last week met with state and territory leaders to lay out the action needed to address legislative gaps following the mass shooting.

He confirmed the cabinet has agreed to tighten gun laws nationally, but specific reforms are yet to be confirmed.

Several options tabled by cabinet included:

• Limiting the number of guns one person can own
• Restricting gun licences to Australian citizens
• Limiting open-ended firearms licensing and the types of guns that are legal, including modifications
• Accelerating work on standing up the National Firearms Register
• And allowing extra use of criminal intelligence to underpin firearms licensing that can be used in administrative licensing regimes

Domestic gas producers will be made to reserve up to 25 per cent of production for the Australian market under the federal government's east coast gas reservation plan.

Climate Change and Energy Minister Chris Bowen said the landmark gas policy announced today would push down prices and fortify the east coast industry by engineering a "slight oversupply".

The scheme has been earmarked to begin in 2027 but will be applied prospectively to new contracts from today.

Chief among the key principles of the scheme is a requirement that exporters will reserve between 15 and 25 per cent of gas production for the local market.

Bowen said this would represent around 200 to 350 petajoules of gas per year.

"We believe that this is good policy based on our experience from Western Australia over recent decades, which has developed a strong and robust gas industry which has exported but has also catered for Western Australia's needs," Bowen said.

"We need to provide certainty to Australian industry that contracts entered into from today will need to ensure adequate domestic supply going forward."

Bowen said the scheme would put "downward pressure" on gas costs but could not confirm an expected figure.

Bowen said that it made "no sense" that Australia could be one of the largest gas producers in the world and still experience a shortfall.

"Most Australians think that Australians should have first rights to that's under Australian soil," he added.

"And that gas should be available to Australians at reasonable prices. Australians are right about that."

A report handed down last month claimed that Australia has exported enough gas to supply domestic needs for two decades.

The report also found that Australians pay between four and seven times more for gas than other large, gas-producing nations, including the US, Russia, Qatar, and Canada.

The federal government commissioned a six-month review of the market earlier this year as the country faced a looming gas shortage.

The scheme will be designed in consultation with the industry, international partners and the community next year.
