In tonight’s bulletin, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese makes a significant policy shift, ordering a Commonwealth Royal Commission into the Bondi tragedy and the rise of antisemitism. Former High Court judge Virginia Bell will lead the probe. Locally, a blistering three-day heatwave is just beginning to take hold across New South Wales, with temperatures in Sydney’s west already soaring to 42°C. In Victoria, emergency services are on high alert as out-of-control bushfires threaten regional communities under catastrophic fire danger ratings. In sport, we bid an emotional farewell to an Australian cricket legend. Usman Khawaja has played his final Test at the SCG, finishing his 14-year international career on a high with an Ashes series victory over England.
