US EditionAustralia PM says Jewish community 'completely unbreakable' after Bondi attack
Prime Minister Albanese’s delayed policy actions and perceived emotional distance follow a Hanukkah mass shooting killing Jewish community members, amid rising antisemitism since October 2023.
- On Sunday, a mass shooting at Bondi Beach during Hanukkah killed a 10-year-old girl named Matilda, and Prime Minister Anthony Albanese urged Australians to `wrap our arms` around the Jewish community but faced criticism for emotional distance and admitted more could have been done.
- Since October 7, 2023, antisemitism has escalated, creating vilification that fed into the Bondi attack, while community leaders say Labor governments have sometimes failed to confront hate normalization.
- Businesses and cultural spaces faced targeted threats last week, including a Surry Hills bakery tagged with an inverted triangle and the Goldstone Gallery closing for safety.
- On Thursday, the government adopted Jillian Segal's recommendations and announced measures including a David Gonski-led taskforce, expanded visa-denial powers for Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke, and new laws targeting hate preachers.
- A deep rift now exists between Anthony Albanese, Prime Minister, his government and many Jewish Australians, with young Jewish members increasingly absent from Young Labor spaces and formal inquiries soon set to examine decisions around the Bondi shootings.
