Sajid Akram, who was killed by police during the December 14 attack, and his 24-year-old son Naveed Akram are accused of perpetrating Australia’s worst massacre since 1996. “This Christmas is a different one because of the anti-terror and the terrorist attack motivated by Isis and antisemitism,” Mr Albanese said. “Everybody in Australia needs to wrap their arms around them and lift them up,” Mr Minns said at the same press conference on Thursday. We will recognise the heroes of the Bondi terrorist attack with new honours and awards. Mr Albanese has also announced plans to tighten Australia’s already strict gun laws.
