Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has apologised for the experience of Jewish Australians, eight days after two gunmen killed 15 people at a Jewish holiday festival at Bondi.
After a cabinet meeting that agreed to progress a package of legislative changes, Mr Albanese said he was “sorry” for what the Jewish community and Australia as a whole had experienced.
The comments were made at a news conference in Canberra, where Attorney-General Michelle Rowland also announced new laws targeting adults who sought to radicalise children.
The prime minister continued to resist calls for a royal commission into the attack, insisting he wanted “urgency and unity, not division and delay”.
