Overview
- Authorities labeled the Bondi Beach shooting at a Hanukkah gathering an antisemitic terror attack that killed multiple people and injured dozens.
- Police said two gunmen carried out the attack, with one fatally shot by officers and the other arrested in critical condition, and an explosive device found in a suspect’s car.
- Performing hours later, Shirley Manson told the Sydney Opera House audience that the only response to rising hatred is to profess love for one another.
- When a crowd member shouted “Free Palestine,” Manson replied in agreement while stressing that everyone deserves safety and a life of love.
- Garbage said six close family members had been at Bondi earlier, urged blood donations, added “Fix Me Now” to the set as a reflective tribute, and joined artists like Billy Bragg, Troye Sivan and Kylie Minogue in condemning the violence.
