When public outcry demands a Royal Commission, many people believe they are calling for an independent inquiry that will identify culprits and lead to punishment. That belief is mistaken.
Governments encourage the idea that a Royal Commission is an investigation independent of political influence, armed with broad powers to hold public hearings, compel witnesses under oath, and uncover the truth. In reality, this public presentation is largely designed to appease the majority. It bears little resemblance to how Royal Commissions actually function.
I have served on three Royal Commissions as a forensic computer and evidence investigator. From that experience, I can say plainly: there is nothing independent about a Royal Commission. Government control is embedded before the commission even begins.
How a Royal Commission is controlled
A Royal Commission is instigated entirely by government: Terms of Reference are constructed through Letters Patent on the advice of the Federal Executive Council, which is made up of government ministers.
These Letters Patent are authorised by the Governor-General, a government appointee.
This process alone removes any realistic notion of independence.The commissioner and commission staff are appointed by government, often drawn from individuals trusted to remain within acceptable political boundaries. Control is retained at every stage.
The depth and scope of the inquiry are determined by the terms of reference. Anything outside those boundaries, no matter how serious, can be ignored or excluded from the final report.
Even where criminality is clearly uncovered, a Royal Commission has no power to prosecute. A commissioner can only make recommendations. Whether anything happens next is entirely up to the government of the day.
A rare exception: The Gyles Royal Commission
The NSW Royal Commission into Building Industry Productivity (1992), led by Roger Gyles QC under Liberal Premier Nick Greiner, was a rare example of a Royal Commission with real consequences.
The Commission uncovered widespread illegality, corruption, intimidation, violence, secret commissions, extortion, and industrial misconduct. It recommended major legal and structural reforms, including:
Disbanding the Building Workers’ Industrial Union (BWIU) establishing a Building Industry Task Force to enforce existing laws (I served as an investigator on this Task Force). This added teeth to the royal commission bypassing the commissioners report to government.
The Building Industry Task Force was established during the life of the Commission and headed by Crown Prosecutor Paul Menzies QC. It was staffed by prosecutors, law enforcement officers, and industry experts, laying criminal charges, secured convictions, and enforced the law.
Convictions were obtained for offences including demanding money with menaces and obtaining financial advantage by false declarations. The associated Code of Practice for NSW government building sites was highly effective, improving efficiency and reducing strikes.
The Commissioner recommended the Task Force’s life be extended, and the Liberal government initially accepted that recommendation.
Political reality reasserts itself
In 1995, the Task Force was disbanded by the Labor change of government under Premier Bob Carr, a government sympathetic to union interests. This occurred just as further corruption and criminal matters were moving toward court.
The message was clear: even when a Royal Commission develops “teeth,” those teeth can be pulled the moment political priorities change.
Another example: The Wood Royal Commission
The NSW Wood Royal Commission (1995–1997) found corruption within the police force to be rampant from top to bottom. Widespread, systemic corruption, including “noble cause” corruption (fabricating evidence, planting drugs) and corrupt networks with organized crime, hindering justice and harming the innocent.The estimated cost was around $64 million, yet, like many Royal Commissions, its long-term enforcement outcomes were limited.
The reality
Royal Commissions are not independent truth-seeking bodies. They are political instruments, tightly controlled by government through terms of reference, appointment, scope, timing, outcome and follow-up.
They can expose wrongdoing, but they cannot enforce accountability. That power remains with the very institutions often implicated in the findings.
Public faith in Royal Commissions rests more on perception than on reality and usually are a massive waste of taxpayer’s money.
Yup, if the Royal Commission is approved it is usually to put the people back to sleep to protect the criminal syndicate. Escpecially with the term of reference. If they are serious then they would look at if the DeepState has any hand in the Bondi shooting, look at the real history of how Israel was established; Thomas Suarez wrote “State of Terror: How Terrorism Created Modern Israel”; get testimony from Kay Griggs on how Israel & US & NATO also Australia do terrorisms and blame it on Arabs or some others; get information collected by Richard Grove on founding of Israel how it is a collaboration of British imperialists & J Zios and they clearly stated that they need to ethnically cleanse the indigenous population to colonise Palestine & their role in building up Nazi Germany and formenting wars. Historian Avi Shlaim also knew of the Zio terrorist who did terrorisms in Muslim countries to scare them into moving to Israel. Zio Michael Kadar making bomb threats to many J schools, synagogue etc is one of many example of what these people do. Also be honest and look at how ISIS was created to help Israel.
There are some odd things about the Bondi incident. The blood on Arsen Ostrovstry’s face selfie photo showed no blood on his eyebrows while plenty under the eyes, then when he had bandage on there seemed to have blood smeared on his eyebrows but the blood pattern on his face remained the same as if he hasn’t touched his face and the medic did not bother to wipe it off. The id card photo of Naveed Akram does not look like the shooter, the shooter has thicker forehead eyebrows & cheeks. I’ve heard of some report that even his mother does not recognise the shooter as her son, & her son was supposed to be holidaying in Jervis bay. Has any independent or alt media journalist tried to interview his mother to find out what happened?
Australia and the Politics of Premature Adjudication: The Bondi Royal Commission.
Global Research – 9 January 2026.
Royal commissions are often held to confirm the obvious and squeak for modest change. They offer no binding remedies, have no compellable powers against the government of the day, and can, despite claiming to be independent, be susceptible to interest groups. They are also expensive, laborious, often lengthy and serve as a pacifying agent, absorbing pressure and enabling the governors of the day to delay action. Scott Prasser, a scholar long versed in the pitfalls of public administration, suggests that such commissions “are most effective when the central problem is a deficit of legitimacy rather than a deficit of information.”

Australia needs a Royal Commission – into the Jewish Lobby.
Crazz Files – 8 January 2026.
In short, Australia has the exact same problem with the influence of the Jewish lobby that the United States does and nothing will change until it is removed from the Australian power structure. And until they’re removed, we will continue to go around in circles and you’ll end up like Davis, Hersant, Sewell or Gruter if you’re on a footpath saying the same thing.
Australia doesn’t need a Royal Commission into anti-Semitism, it does, however, desperately need one into the philo-Semitism of its ruling class.

Kangaroo Court of Australia: Rupert Murdoch’s Bondi Royal Commission? – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Tu2KvSkUX8
The only Royal Commission we need is one which examines how we Aussies have been so big time fkd without even knowing it. The joint’s been taken over and cleaned out by foreign interests and nobody has noticed?
I’ve been thinking about Minn’s chief of staff’s win in the N.S.W. Court of Appeal last month and Terry Shulze’s gumshoe article.
Firstly It’s a determination by the N.S.W. Court of Appeal strongly stating The Constitution is the supreme law in the Commonwealth of Australia.
The determination submits to Section 109. Inconsistency of laws,
“When a law of a State is inconsistent with a law of the Commonwealth, the latter shall prevail, and the former shall, to the extent of the inconsistency, be invalid.”
Secondly it strengthens The People of Australia’s political position above that of their Elected Servants and senior Civil Servants; dismissing the notion government is sovereign, that Our Servants can scapegoat their butlers, maids and chauffeurs to save their own asses from accountability.
Royal commissions only serve three functions: to delay the attribution of guilt; spread the blame across multiple agencies; and, distract the goyim. You will notice that RC recommendations are not legally binding. It is up to governments to CHOOSE whether they will implement the recommendations, and what ones they will implement.
Abused by a pedo priest/minister? You deserve it. Only 27 of the 409 recommendations were implemented.
Unable to access veteran mental health services? You deserve it. The final report was rejected by government, and only a redacted version was made available to the public. The paper it was printed on was worth more as toilet paper than the contents of the report.
Killed at the Bondi hannukah festival by a jihadist? You deserve it. None of the recommendations were implemented.
In every case, the Australian people voted for it, so they deserve it.
Aussies = bovine.
Independent judiciary, what a freaking joke! Here, read this article of a case I did where the ‘independent’ judiciary was playing politics with the politicians.

I agree with the article, a Royal Commission is a Royal joke played upon the populace.

Would Minns and the N.S.W. Police commissioner be compelled to give evidence at a Royal Commission into prior knowledge of free speech and gun legislation amendments leading up to the Bondi event?
His chief of staff last month in the NSW court of appeal, successfully shot down a 1901 law that allows the N.S.W. government to force individuals to give evidence at parliamentary committees or face arrest, on the grounds it is unconstitutional because it doesn’t take into account the independence of the judiciary; because it could politicise the justice system. — (separation of powers, of the three branches of government, ra ra ra).

After the Fitzgerald RC Commission concluded the only real difference was the increase in size to lawyers bank accounts
Putting people in the stocks would be quicker and a million times cheaper
Maybe we need to introduce the concept of the Grand Jury, to collect, study, collate and present the evidence to the public, before prosecutions take place? We could use that approach for the C19 Scam, then use the experience to collect the evidence for Bondi.
We not longer have Royal patronage, regardless of what the Governor General and the State Governors believe. A Royal Commission is a bit of a misnomer now. Nothing Royal about Australia now we have become a “Socialist Collective”.
The Great Seal of Australia no longer has “Queen of Australia” embossed on it. It just says “AUSTRALIA” now. No mention of Royalty, no mention of Commonwealth. Perhaps we WILL Be a Republic by 2030? Bit like the Democratic Republic of Congo?
Poor Fella, My Country?
Once again when most politicians seem to be on-side with the public we find it is not so. The lies can be either up front or buried under a pile of “legal” not “lawful” garbage taught in the so-called “law”.
There is no LAW carried out these days. Only Marintime Law “the law of the sea” which has no reference to most of the world’s population who are land dwellers. So any pretense carried out as law is itself outlawry. This makes all so-called lawyers and barristers fraudsters. Just commonsense!
Well folks,
Did you really need to be told?
Since when did ANY so-called “Royal Commission” EVER achieve ANY beneficial outcome for Australians in Australia’s short and sorry history? Aside from making a bunch of politically appointed rich bastard “commissioners” even RICHER – all billed to the down-trodden emphatically subordinate Australian taxpayer, of course – all for a fat pointless vacuous document delivered 20 years after the fact which whitewashes everything under the Sun and covers all the guilty bastards arses with stainless steel armour-plated undies.
A certain list of 28 high-profile paedophiles comes to mind, tabled in the midst of a so-called “Royal Commission”, including the names of half a dozen former Australian Prime Ministers, including known serial paedophile, pathologic embezzler and celebrated mass-murderer SNUFF SCOTTY right at the top of the list.
OF COURSE, that list was promptly buried under a 90-year suppression order, never to be seen again from that day to this.
Seems to me that Mr. Rope and Mr. Lamp Post would be FAR more qualified to manage these “investigations” otherwised tabled and charaded and inevitably whitewashed and shelved by these so-called “Royal Commissions”. Investigations perhaps chaired by the Fat Lady, while Mr. Rope and Mr. Lamp Post do all the leg-work (so to speak).

Everything to do with Royalty is just a lie made in hell to deceive the public. They control high degrees of banking/The City of London, that they operate for profit under Vatican control, which King John Gave Great Britain to back in about 1004 AD to pay for his entry into heaven since he thought he was dying.
Thet are not even a human breed, but are reptillions that shapeshift. Vatican/Lucifer/NWO/Deep State … we are their slaves … we already own nothing … but are we happy?
