The Bondi massacre: honour, dignity, and the refusal to reform

The Sydney Opera House is illuminated with candlelights in Sydney on December 21, 2025, as part of a national day of reflection honouring the victims of the Bondi Beach terrorist attack. Australians fell silent in flickering candlelight to honour the Bondi Beach shooting victims, marking one week since gunmen fired into crowds at a Jewish festival.
