The Attorney-General's Department released internal correspondence from 21 December 2025 regarding Commonwealth coordination with a state-based inquiry or royal commission following the Bondi Beach terrorist attack on 14 December 2025. A First Assistant Secretary from the International and Public Law Division provided talking points to minister's office staff, emphasizing the Commonwealth's cooperative approach with NSW, the Department's experience supporting state inquiries, and its intended leadership role in coordinating Commonwealth-wide support. The document is marked OFFICIAL and contains minimal redactions under section 22(1) (personal email addresses and contact details). No substantive legal advice, litigation instructions, or policy recommendations are visible in the released excerpt. The correspondence appears procedural, establishing messaging about inter-governmental cooperation rather than detailed inquiry strategy or Commonwealth legal positions.
