In the wake of Australia's Bondi Beach terror attack, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese announced a review of the effectiveness of Commonwealth agencies.
Albanese said that former intelligence head Dennis Richardson would conduct the review on whether the way agencies work could have prevented the attack.
Two gunmen targeted a Jewish festival at Sydney's Bondi Beach on December 14, killing 15 people.
"Mr Richardson will assess whether Commonwealth agencies
performed to maximum effectiveness," said Albanese.
"He will consider what these agencies knew about the alleged offenders before the attack, the information sharing between Commonwealth agencies and between Commonwealth and state agencies, what judgements were made and actions taken by agencies, whether there were any additional measures Commonwealth agencies could have taken to prevent the terrorist attack.
"Whether Commonwealth agencies were prevented from taking prohibitive actions by the current legislative framework and authorising environment, what additional measures should be taken by relevant Commonwealth agencies to prevent similar attacks occurring in the future including whether they have adequate legislative powers, systems, processes and procedures.
"Including in regards to information sharing, whether warrant and data access regimes and powers are adequate and whether any legislative amendments are required."
