Witnesses who have given evidence into a hate inquiry sparked by the Bondi terror attack have since borne the brunt of hundreds of abusive online posts, which are largely still online.
Some of the hateful posts have included calls for the reinstation of Holocaust gas chambers.
CEO of The Dor Foundation Tahli Blicblau revealed on Tuesday at the Royal Commission on anti-Semitism and Social Cohesion that data collected by the not-for-profit organisation suggested a minimum of 26 witnesses in the first hearing block had been attacked online in 275 posts across seven platforms.
Ms Blicblau also revealed preliminary findings suggested there had been 70 further examples of online hatred toward the five witnesses who presented at the commission on Monday.
