A federal Royal Commission in the Bondi tragedy is a poor idea. No government of any colour is about to reveal the methods and deficiencies of its intelligence agencies. www.thenewdaily.com.au/opinion/2026...

“As a human rights scholar and practitioner it makes me very frustrated when people claim that human rights are a Western thing.
