Doorstop - Sydney

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: It was a great honour to meet Ahmed Al Ahmed. He is a true Australian hero. He's very humble. He went through his thought processes as he saw the atrocities unfold. He had gone to Bondi with friends and relatives. He was trying to get a cup of coffee, simple as that, and found himself at a moment where people were being shot in front of him. He decided to take action, and his bravery is an inspiration for all Australians. He is a very humble man. Tomorrow he will undergo further surgery.

ANTHONY ALBANESE, PRIME MINISTER: Good to talk with you, Anthony. Although it is a difficult time that Australians are going through and that the Jewish community in particular is going through.

Meeting of National Cabinet

The Prime Minister today convened a meeting of National Cabinet following the evil anti-Semitic terrorist attack directed at members of the Jewish community celebrating Chanukah at Sydney’s Bondi Beach.

The National Cabinet pledged to eradicate anti-Semitism, hate, violence and terrorism and emphasised Australia’s commitment to national coordination on countering terrorism and violent extremism, social cohesion, resourcing and rhetoric to ensure community safety.
