A Royal Commission of Inquiry into the Bondi terrorist attacks is beginning, examining antisemitism and social cohesion. 

Gunmen killed 15 people at a Jewish event at the popular Sydney beach last month.  

Australia's Prime Minister has asked former High Court justice Virginia Bell to lead the Commonwealth Inquiry, with a report expected back by year's end. 

Australia Correspondent Murray Olds told Andrew Dickens the report will give recommendations regarding law enforcement, border control, immigration, and, very importantly, security and intelligence agencies.

When it comes to California rock, no one does it quite like Counting Crows. 

They’ve sold more than 20 million albums, captivating listeners with their soulful sound and roof-raising live performances. 

They’ve returned to tour the world 30 years after their global explosion, and they’re kicking it off in 2026 with a March show in Auckland. 

Adam Duritz, founding member and frontman, told Andrew Dickens one of the things keeping them going after 30 years is “bloody-minded stubbornness”.  

“I dreamed of doing this my entire life,” he said. 

“I feel pretty lucky about the situation, and also pretty determined still.” 

“I really love it – it's all I ever wanted to do.”

It’s been ten days since Manage My Health was the victim of a data breach that involved over 100,000 Kiwis. 

Last night the company confirmed that half of the affected patients had been contacted, leaving tens of thousands of people still uncertain.  

Meanwhile, it’s been revealed that the Privacy Commission was aware of the security vulnerabilities as of six months ago. 

One of those who had his data leaked, Mike told Andrew Dickens his concern is less about his medical information being leaked, but rather his personal details. 

He says he’s not sure what data has been leaked, but things like his name, date of birth, NHI number, and potentially his address may all be compromised, which could be used in dangerous ways.
