TRANSCRIPT
Australia's eSafety Commissioner has apologised to Jewish victims of online harassment while appearing at the Royal Commission on Antisemitism and Social Cohesion.
Julie Inman Grant has told the Commission her office had received 108,000 complaints about harmful online content in the 2026 financial year, up from 55,000 the previous year.
Ms Inman Grant has described difficulties with having material taken down, and argued more resources and reform to the Online Safety Act could help.
She has related one instance where a lawyer was threatening legal action and pushing to have content pulled down, but it was outside her powers to assist.
"I could hear the emotion in his voice, and it made me very emotional too, and I just ... that's one of the things I regret the most, like, we're here to help people, and I just want to acknowledge that I know that his clients were suffering, and so many in the Jewish community have been suffering, and I'm really sorry about the shortcomings of the scheme, and when we haven't been able to help."

Nine monks have been killed in an accident in Thailand caused by an 11 year old boy.
Police say the youngster was behind the wheel of a pickup truck that crashed into the monks who were on a pilgrimage walk in the northeast of the country.
A total of 35 monks from Mukdahan province, about 600km northeast of the capital Bangkok, were on the pilgrimage.
Police say the boy had taken his parents' vehicle without permission before losing control.

Rescuers have pulled a 43-year-old security guard alive from beneath a collapsed shopping centre in Venezuela, eight days after twin earthquakes struck the country.
Hernan Alberto Gil Flores was rescued from the basement of a shopping centre in Catia La Mar, in La Guaira state, where he had been trapped since the earthquakes on 24 June.
Rescue teams from several countries cheered as Mr Gil Flores was carried on a stretcher to a Red Cross ambulance after a complex operation that lasted several days.
His wife, Gusbimar Gonzalez, says the moment brought overwhelming relief after days of uncertainty.
"First, there were days of sadness, pain and desperation because they couldn't find him. I didn't know if he was alive or dead, if he was injured, or if they took him to a hospital. But when I realised he was alive, it was like a ray of light in the darkness."

More than 100 First Nations artists from across the country are in Sydney this week for the National Indigenous Art Fair.
Held during NAIDOC Week, the Fair brings artists from more than 30 remote community-owned art centres to Barangaroo.
The National Indigenous Art Fair celebrates First Nations culture and storytelling with everything from paintings to weaving.
Among this year's artists is Fraser Peter who is turning car bonnets into canvases telling stories of culture, Country and contemporary Aboriginal identity.
"In our culture, for us as we paint all of this dreaming, we have to hold onto them and the culture in my community is really traditional for us. I want to represent my paintings for everyone to see and to know where I'm from."
