In Australia, two major public inquiries are demanding attention. The Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) has launched “Operation Navarra,” a four-week hearing into allegations that Parramatta Council made secret payout agreements to former staff, including former chief executive Gail Connolly.
Separately, Australia’s Royal Commission into antisemitism entered its sixth day, with nine witnesses — including Jewish community leaders, rabbis, and musician Deborah Conway — set to give evidence before former High Court Justice Virginia Bell.
