Ten people remain hospitalized after Australia’s worst mass shooting in 30 years, with four in critical condition, as authorities search for a suspect.

  • On December 14, the attack on a car bearing a Hanukkah sign left ten people hospitalised in Sydney, prompting an ongoing Melbourne police search.
  • NSW Health reported four patients in critical condition and six in stable condition across Prince of Wales, St Vincent's, St George, and Royal Prince Alfred hospitals on Saturday.
  • Strengthening visa powers was announced by Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke, which Foreign Minister Penny Wong supported while condemning anti-Semitism and linking it to the Melbourne firebombing of a rabbi's car.
  • On Friday, police released an image of John Argento as searches continue while a pictured rabbi and a wounded policeman now at home recover.
