Australian Prime Minister booed as Bondi Beach attack victims honoured

Prime Minister Albanese apologized after boos at Bondi Beach vigil for 15 killed in Hanukkah attack; government plans federal review and new hate-crime laws, officials said.

  • On Sunday evening at Bondi Beach, organisers estimated crowds of 20,000 attended the National Day of Reflection at the site of last Sunday’s attack where 15 people were killed, observing a minute's silence at 18:47.
  • Investigators say the two attackers were ISIS-inspired; Australian security agencies had investigated associates in 2016 without concluding he posed a threat.
  • The crowd reacted with boos when Prime Minister Anthony Albanese was announced and jeered again on stage, while a mourner ran at him and was restrained by police.
  • The federal government responded by announcing a review of the federal police and intelligence agencies led by former intelligence chief Dennis Richardson, with Prime Minister Anthony Albanese saying `Our security agencies must be in the best position to respond`.
  • Community leaders warn that Alex Ryvchin said victims' families feel `tragically, unforgivably let down` and politicians say the attack exposed gaps in gun‑licence assessments and agency information‑sharing.
