Bondi Beach Terror Attack Heroes to Receive Official Honours
Prime Minister Albanese urges a special honours list to recognize Bondi massacre heroes whose brave actions prevented greater loss of life in the December 14 terror attack.
- Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has asked the governor-general to create a special honours list to include first responders and others who intervened, saying it’s important the nation celebrate its heroes amid recent grief.
- Police say the attackers used two single-barrel shotguns, a Beretta rifle and three failed pipe bombs including a 'tennis ball bomb', after allegedly scoping the site about 48 hours beforehand.
- First responders such as Probationary Constable Jack Hibbert and Constable Scott Dyson were singled out for their actions; Hibbert was released from hospital on Tuesday, while Dyson awoke from a coma after surgery.
- The honours move follows precedents after the Bali bombings and MH17, with New South Wales Premier Chris Minns saying his government will scrutinise nominations.
- Dr Orr said authorities missed multiple opportunities to prevent the attack, as the pair traveled to a known terrorism hotspot in the Philippines and obtained six guns despite being on a watch list.
