Good afternoon. Several members of Australia’s Jewish community have given evidence on the first day of public hearings of the royal commission into antisemitism and social cohesion before former high court justice Virginia Bell in Sydney.

Sheina Gutnick (pictured), the commission’s first witness, told the hearing Bondi beach “holds many complicated and conflicting feelings for me” as the place where her parents first met but also where her father, 62-year-old Reuven Morrison, was shot and killed on 14 December, allegedly by two Islamic State-inspired gunmen.
