PM promises his government has been ‘focused around the clock’ on supporting Jewish community

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has detailed what his government has done since the fatal night of December 14 on Bondi Beach.

“Each and every day since that terrible Sunday night, our government has been focused on supporting people grieving their loved ones, standing with the Australian Jewish community in this time of devastating pain, and working around the clock with security agencies, police, state and territory governments and the Jewish community to take immediate action,” Mr Albanese said.

“We brought together the National Cabinet to fast-track tougher gun laws, we delivered new resources to our law enforcement agencies to help prevent further attacks.

“When parliament returns, we will introduce new laws to criminalise hate speech and hate preachers.”
