For Filipino migrants who are not familiar with Australia’s government and political system, here is an explanation of what a Royal Commission is.
Key Points
- After several weeks of intense political pressure, the Prime Minister this January announced the formation of a Royal Commission to investigate the rise in antisemitism and the possible causes behind the second-deadliest mass shooting in Australian history.
- A Royal Commission is an independent, public inquiry established by a state or federal government.
- The Australian government describes a Royal Commission as “the highest form of inquiry into matters of great public importance, established only in rare and exceptional circumstances.”
