Prime Minister Anthony Albanese announced new hate crime laws after a terror attack killed 15 people and injured over 40 at a Jewish Hanukkah event.
- On December 15, 2025, a mass shooting at Bondi Beach, Sydney, New South Wales killed 15 people, including Matilda, a 10-year-old girl attending a Hanukkah event.
- Authorities say the attackers were a father-and-son pair inspired by the Islamic State group with two homemade IS flags found in their vehicle; Sajid Akram, 50, was shot dead, and Naveed Akram, 24, was charged Wednesday with 59 offences.
- Around mourners, symbolic tributes referenced Matilda's family nickname with balloons and stickers while her school said she won a national literacy prize two days before she died.
- Prime Minister Anthony Albanese in Canberra pledged new laws to broaden hate-speech offences, increase penalties, create a 12-month task force on education, and use disaster relief funds for terror victims.
- The massacre has prompted a national reckoning about antisemitism and whether leaders acted on threats to the Australian Jewish community, while debate over vilification laws remains contentious and authorities warn of more police search warrants.
