Bondi Beach shooting latest: Family of hero who tackled gunman gives update after surgery – as more attack victims named

Our Asia correspondent Cordelia Lynch is in Bondi Beach, where she has spoken to members of the Jewish community. 

“When you speak to the Jewish community here, they say despite the size of this attack, it wasn’t without precedent,” she says. 

“It isn’t in isolation – they’ve had this increasing feeling of being exposed, of being vulnerable, of being unprotected.”

This has extended to criticism of the Australian government and particularly the prime minister, Anthony Albanese.

“People say they haven’t done enough to heed the warnings to respond to the attacks that preceded this,” Lynch said. 

“We’ve seen Jewish synagogues, community centres targeted before this. 

“We’ve heard as well today from the Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, also hitting out at the Australian leadership for not doing enough to protect the Jewish community.”

Albanese promised to do all he can to protect the Jewish community.

“Many people here will want to know a lot more about exactly how he plans to prevent further attacks from happening,” Lynch says.
