Murray Olds: Australia Correspondent discusses NSW Premier Chris Minns taking the reigns from federal government

Author: Newstalk ZB December 21, 2025 Duration: 6:10

Questions are being asked of Australia's federal Government in the aftermath of the Bondi terror attack - as it appears to bow to the New South Wales premier. 

Just over a week ago, 15 people were killed at a Hanukkah celebration - when two gunmen opened fire. 

The New South Wales Parliament's been recalled to debate a suite of measures proposed by state premier Chris Minns. 

Australia correspondent Murray Olds says the federal Government's under pressure - because it seems like Minns is the one in charge. 

Olds says Prime Minister Anthony Albanese's said he'd follow New South Wales on the prospect of a Royal Commission of Inquiry - leaving a lot of people asking where's his leadership.
