10
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:28,760
Speaker 1: from owning firearms, as the federal government faces calls for

00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:32,000
Speaker 1: an inquiry into the failure of AZO to prevent the

12
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:33,680

13
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:38,120
Speaker 2: Prime Minister Anthony Albanezi also faces growing criticism that his

14
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:41,600
Speaker 2: government has failed to combat anti Semitism and that played

15
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:43,840
Speaker 2: a role in the attack. Yesterday, he pledged to boost

16
00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:46,560
Speaker 2: a fund that provides security for Jewish people and their

17
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:49,839
Speaker 2: institutions and tell the meeting with state and territory leaders

18
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:53,519
Speaker 2: in the afternoon. Now, the leaders agreed to pursue nationally

19
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:56,480
Speaker 2: uniform laws that would limit the number of firearms a

20
00:00:56,520 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 2: person could own, abolish open ended gun licenses by subject

21
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 2: than them to periodic review. Being the types of weapons

22
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 2: used in Sunday's massacre and limit gun licenses to Australian citizens.

00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 1: discuss gun laws as she criticized the Labor government for

28
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 1: failing to keep Jewish Australians safe.

29
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:27,319
Speaker 2: The basic charge is that the government has not been

30
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 2: tough enough in responding to acts of violence against Jews

31
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:34,760
Speaker 2: and Jewish institution, and been too tolerant of public displays

32
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 2: of hatred and anti Semitism on university campuses and in

33
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:39,319
Speaker 2: the streets.

34
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:42,320

36
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:50,000

00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 1: four year old son was in a coma in hospital,

40
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 1: and police have ruled out the involvement of a third attacker.

41
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 2: The father migrated to Australia was not an Australian citizen.

42
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 2: The son was born and educated in Sydney. He had

43
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:11,919
Speaker 2: come to Asio's attention in twenty nineteen. He was watched

45
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,400

46
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:22,800
Speaker 2: government in Asio came under criticism for that yesterday. The

47
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:26,680

00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:30,240
Speaker 2: of French national Holocaust survivor, a great grandfather and a

49
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 2: ten year old girl, among others. Of the twenty seven

50
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 2: victims still in hospital, twelve are in critical condition. The

51
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 2: massacre triggered global condemnation of the attacks and sympathy for

52
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:43,959
Speaker 2: the victims and their families, from US President Donald Trump

53
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 2: to European leaders, while Israel President Benjamin nette Yaw who

54
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 2: blamed Anthony Alberizi for not craking down on anti Semitism

55
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:53,240
Speaker 2: in Australia.
