A furious Josh Frydenberg has directed a blistering critique at Anthony Albanese over the government's handling of antisemitism in the lead-up to the Bondi Beach shooting, while calling for a royal commission into the terror attack.

The former Liberal treasurer, who is Jewish, gave a fiery speech at Bondi this afternoon calling for greater action from governments in the wake of the shooting, which killed 15 innocent people.

"This massacre at Bondi is the greatest stain on this nation," Frydenberg said.

"I'm here to mourn, but I am also here to warn: unless our governments, federal and state, take urgent, unprecedented and strong action, as night follows day, we will be back grieving the loss of innocent life in another terrorist attack in our country."

Frydenberg also went as far as to single out the prime minister for having failed Jewish Australians.

"Our prime minister, our government, has allowed Australia to be radicalised on his watch," he said.

"It is time for him to accept personal responsibility for the death of the 15 innocent people, including a 10-year-old child. 

"It is time our prime minister accepted accountability for what has happened here. And it's time our leaders stood up and led at last. This is a time for accountability and action."

Albanese has faced significant criticism since the attack over the government's response to antisemitism, but Frydenberg's remarks have escalated the debate.

Former prime minister John Howard – who, like Frydenberg, hails from the Liberal Party – has also criticised Albanese but said only the shooters are responsible for their actions.

"Clearly the people to blame for the murders are the murderers… (Albanese's) greatest failure is not to provide the moral leadership that a prime minister can in denouncing antisemitism," he said yesterday.

In response to Frydenberg's comments, Foreign Minister Penny Wong defended the government's response, saying it has denounced antisemitism and took action against rising levels of hate, but conceded more now needs to be done.

"The Jewish Australian community is mourning and so too is the whole of the country," she told the ABC. 

"This is a time that we need to come together because this attack was inspired by an ideology that is seeking to divide us; a radical, extreme view which seeks to divide our country."

Frydenberg also said a royal commission into the attack and the rise of antisemitism needed to be called immediately.

"We here deserve answers," Frydenberg said. 

"We don't need pious words of comfort, we need answers."

That was one of eight suggestions to act against antisemitism the former treasurer gave the government.

They also included investing in education, and banning "hate preachers" and "extremist organisations", pointing in particular to Hizb-ut-Tahrir, the radical Islamist organisation that was banned in the United Kingdom last year and in Germany in 2003.

He also called for the government to fully implement the recommendations made in July by Jillian Segal, the special envoy to combat antisemitism appointed by Albanese.

The government hasn't formally responded to that report – which itself has been criticised, with one human rights expert saying it had "biased arguments, weak evidence and recommendation overreach" – but has adopted some of the recommendations.

"We have taken action that she recommended, such as criminalising hate speech, and symbols including the Nazi salute," Wong said. 

"We've taken action, including my expulsion of the Iranian ambassador, when it was clear that Iran had connections to the attack on a synagogue here in Australia. 

"But we all know more needs to be done and we have to work together – our government, all levels of government, faith leaders, community leaders – to eradicate antisemitism, this hatred, from any part of the Australian community."

Frydenberg's successor, current Treasurer Jim Chalmers, announced an extra $104 million in the federal budget for extra security at Jewish events and crisis support services.

He said the government would consider Frydenberg's suggestions.

"I have a lot of respect for Josh Frydenberg… I don't doubt the intensity or the sincerity of his views," Chalmers said. 

"And we take them seriously. He, like a lot of Australians, is mourning and is grieving. 

"And we will take suggestions from him or from other members of the community very seriously."

One of the police officers wounded by gunfire during Sunday's mass shooting at Bondi Beach has lost sight in one eye and faces a long road to recovery, his family has revealed.

Probationary Constable Jack Hibbert was one of two police officers left in a critical condition after he was shot while confronting two gunmen who opened fire on a Jewish Hanukkah festival on Sunday evening.

NSW Police Commissioner Mal Lanyon said he visited Hibbert and his family this morning.

"I'm really pleased to say that Jack was awake this morning, we had a lovely conversation, he's a really positive young man," Lanyon said.

"Tragically we know that he's going to lose the sight in one eye as a result of his injuries on the weekend.

"Jack is incredibly comforted by the knowledge that as his commissioner I have given him an undertaking that we will support him.

"We will find appropriate duties for him, depending on the nature of that injury and his capacity.

"His family wanted to say thank you to the many members of the community who have provided messages of support to them and the overwhelming support of the blue family."

Lanyon confirmed Hibbert's colleague, Constable Scott Dyson, underwent further surgery this morning.

"He remains in a critical and stable condition," Lanyon said.

"Our thoughts and all of our prayers are with him and his family.

"For both officers, it will be a long road to recovery.

The policing family has wrapped around both officers and will ensure that we are there for the long run."

Hibbert's family issued a statement through NSW Police earlier today.

Statement from the Hibbert family:

On the 14th of December, Jack Hibbert was shot while fulfilling his role as a police officer at Bondi Beach.

While serving and protecting the community, Jack sustained two bullet wounds – one to his head and another to his shoulder. Jack was on duty, patrolling the Hanukkah celebration interacting with the community at Bondi Beach, when the incident first occurred.

Jack was taken to ICU where he was intubated and underwent multiple surgeries. Although miraculously surviving, Jack's injuries have resulted in a loss of vision in one of his eyes and he now faces a long and challenging recovery ahead, with additional surgeries required.

Jack is just 22 years old and has only been in the police force for four months. Even so, in the face of a violent and tragic incident, he responded with courage, instinct, and selflessness, continuing to protect and help others whilst injured, until he was physically no longer able to.

Jack was simply doing his job – a job he deeply loves – driven by a commitment to protect the community, even at great personal cost.

Many of his colleagues who were present on the night of the incident have visited in hospital and given testaments to Jack's bravery during the incident, describing his devotion to his community. They described how Jack acted, he moved toward people in need, not away from danger, and continued helping others while seriously injured.

The support from the police force and hospital staff has been unmatched and we are beyond grateful.

We thank the wider community for their kindness, support, and prayers for Jack and our family during this difficult time.

We ask all to respect our privacy as we move through these next stages to support Jack and all his needs to a full recovery.

A Sydney Jewish bakery owned by former TV chef Ed Halmagyi has been forced to shut up shop in the wake of the Bondi shooting.

Avner's bakery patrons arrived this morning to find the Surry Hills store's little blue door shut tight.

A printed sign announced it had closed after two years of antisemitic attacks on the store and staff.

"In the wake of the pogrom at Bondi one thing has become clear – it is no longer possible to make outwardly, publicly, proudly Jewish places and events safe in Australia," the sign read.

The term "pogrom" refers to a violent attack or massacre of ethnic and religious minorities, particularly Jewish people.

The gunmen accused of carrying out the Bondi Beach terror attack opened fire while a Jewish event was underway.

The attack left 15 innocents dead, including two rabbis and a Holocaust survivor, and injured dozens more.

"After two years of almost ceaseless antisemitic harassment, vandalism and intimidation directed at our little bakery, we have to be realistic about the threats that exist going forwards," the Avner's bakery sign read.

Those threats have allegedly continued in the wake of the Bondi shooting, making it "impossible" to ensure the safety of Avner's staff, families, and customers.

The sign said Avner's bakery had therefore made the heartbreaking decision to close.

The bakery usually operates Tuesday to Saturday between the hours of 6am to 3pm, and Sunday between 7am and 3pm.

It announced on Instagram on Monday that it would not open on Tuesday as staff tried to make sense of the senseless violence carried out at Bondi on Sunday.

The post hinted that Avner's may remain shut "a little longer", but did not suggest any plans to close down permanently.

The sheer scale of gun ownership in NSW is under a spotlight as Australia asks the same heartbreaking question: Why can someone legally own six firearms?

Sajid Akram, the gunman who died during Sunday's Bondi Beach terrorist attack, had been a licensed firearm holder since 2023.

He had six guns registered to his name.

The NSW government has provided extensive data on the number of legal gun owners and how many firearms they own.

NSW has more registered guns than any other state in Australia.

Sajid was among 254,992 registered gun owners in NSW as of July 2025, a figure which excludes collectors.

And there are 1,133,690 individual registered firearms in the state.

Among them, only 107,219 belong to collectors or dealers.

There is currently no limit to the number of guns a registered firearm owner can legally own.

There are multiple postcodes in Sydney with several thousand licensed gun owners.

There are 2232 gun owners in Windsor in Sydney's north-west, 1248 owners in Wentworthville in the city's west, 2010 in the south-west suburb of Liverpool and 1123 in the Maroubra area.

Camden, in Sydney's south-west, had the largest number of gun owners in the capital at 2621.

There are 9956 legally-owned guns in this suburb alone – that is an average of 3.7 guns per gun owner in Camden.

Outside of Sydney, these figures balloon significantly.

Bathurst in NSW's Central Tablelands has the most gun owners in the state.

There are 3683 licensed gun owners in Bathurst.

Goulburn is a close second, with 3338 gun owners living in the Southern Tablelands city.

The statistics also break down the number of guns owned by each individual.

One person in Goulburn owned 298 guns as of July 2025.

An individual firearm owner in the Chifley-La Perouse region in Sydney has 295 guns, while someone in Punchbowl is registered to have 226 guns.

These owners are not gun dealers, nor are they collectors.

There are an average of four guns belonging to each registered firearm owner in NSW.

The chief reason for issued prohibited weapon permits in NSW is categorised as "general", or unspecified.

The NSW government releases this report biannually, with the latest figures expected to be released this month.

Federal gun ownership laws will be revised as an urgent priority following a national cabinet meeting.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said among the reforms would be a limit on the number of guns a person can own.

NSW Premier Chris Minns today said he will call back parliament on December 22 and 23 to rush through urgent laws to keep the community safe, including reforms to cap the number of firearms, reclassify certain firearms and reduce magazine capacity for shotguns.

The reform will also strip back NSW Civil and Administrative Tribunal (NCAT) powers from overturning police decisions to cancel a gun owner's licence.

"At the moment, NSW police routinely yank licences from gun holders and licence holders they suspect or fear are a threat to the community," Minns said.

'Those appeals are heard in NCAT, and often police's objections are overturned and the guns remain with that individual, and we'll extinguish that appeal pathway."

There are over four million guns owned by civilians nationwide.

Australia's current legislation stems from the National Firearms Agreement set up in 1996 by former prime minister John Howard after the Port Arthur massacre in which 35 people died.

While the guns used by the two alleged gunmen in the Bondi attack have not been named by authorities, it has been widely reported they included a bolt-action rifle and a shotgun.

"He was determined to be entitled to have a firearms licence and had a firearms licence," NSW Police Commissioner Mal Lanyon said of gunman Sajid.

"[That] person had a firearms licence for a number of years, for which there were no incidents and it was regulated."
