Will there be calls for a Royal Commission into Islamophobia?
Will Grant Hackett get involved? Will community leaders blast the Albanese government for not listening to the Islamophobia envoy? Will Pauline Hanson be castigated by Sky for causing this, as Mehreen Faruqi was castigated over Bondi?

On Saturday, an imam and his wife were allegedly victims of a violent hate crime — forced off the road by another car, with attackers then getting out to assault the imam/threaten his wife.
ANIC put out a statement on Sunday arvo, noting rising islamophobia.

77 women were murdered in Australia in 2025, almost all by men.
That’s a woman killed every 5 days.
Tens of thousands more women were injured, disabled or hospitalised by the same male violence.
As men we need to refuse to accept such an epidemic & use our power & privilege to help end this.
