The interim report from the Antisemitism Royal Commission presents several recommendations aimed at strengthening counter-terrorism efforts and enhancing security for Jewish communities in Australia. Among the key recommendations, the report suggests that the procedures used by New South Wales (NSW) Police for Operation Jewish High Holy Days be applied to other high-risk Jewish events. It also proposes considering a full-time role for the Commonwealth Counter-Terrorism Coordinator to enhance leadership in counter-terrorism. Furthermore, the Australian-New Zealand Counter-Terrorism Committee (ANZCTC) should be integrated into the Australian Government Crisis Management Framework to clarify its role during crises. The report emphasizes the need for regular updates to the Counter-Terrorism Handbook and recommends that the ANZCTC provide annual briefings to the National Cabinet on counter-terrorism challenges. Additionally, it calls for a review of the Joint Counter-Terrorism Teams to improve their effectiveness. Lastly, the report urges the government to prioritize finalizing a nationally consistent National Firearms Agreement and implementing a National Gun Buyback Scheme.
