92
00:05:01,735 --> 00:05:04,695
Speaker 3: It should have been an evening like any other, families

93
00:05:04,735 --> 00:05:07,455
Speaker 3: and friends gather by the beach to send off the weekend,

94
00:05:07,735 --> 00:05:11,855
Speaker 3: splashing around, sharing hot chips and basking in the final

95
00:05:11,895 --> 00:05:15,375
Speaker 3: moments of the sun's warm glow. A perfect summer evening

96
00:05:15,415 --> 00:05:20,615
Speaker 3: in Sydney, Australia at the world's most recognizable beach. Nearby,

97
00:05:20,775 --> 00:05:22,895
Speaker 3: a group of more than a thousand gathered to ring

98
00:05:22,935 --> 00:05:26,415
Speaker 3: in the first night of Huneker, the Jewish celebration of light,

99
00:05:27,495 --> 00:05:31,695
Speaker 3: and then about six forty five pm, shots began to

100
00:05:31,775 --> 00:05:36,855
Speaker 3: ring out. Terrified people began to flee the scene as locals,

101
00:05:36,935 --> 00:05:40,455
Speaker 3: Australians across the country and people around the world started

102
00:05:40,495 --> 00:05:44,214
Speaker 3: to piece together what was happening. Australia's worst mass shooting

103
00:05:44,375 --> 00:05:48,855
Speaker 3: since the nineteen ninety six Port Arthur massacre. People took

104
00:05:48,895 --> 00:05:53,455
Speaker 3: shelter wherever they could nearby beach change rooms and toilets,

105
00:05:53,575 --> 00:05:58,214
Speaker 3: anywhere to hide themselves from a spray of bullets. Nineteen

106
00:05:58,295 --> 00:06:00,815
Speaker 3: year old Edie Christopher was working as a bartender at

107
00:06:00,855 --> 00:06:04,335
Speaker 3: the North Bonde RSL during the attack. She says her

108
00:06:04,415 --> 00:06:07,175
Speaker 3: fellow team members try to let as many people into

109
00:06:07,215 --> 00:06:10,135
Speaker 3: the building as possible, handing out water and trying to

110
00:06:10,175 --> 00:06:13,575
Speaker 3: keep the mood calm as families held each other in terror.

111
00:06:14,495 --> 00:06:18,495
Speaker 4: Initially I was in denial. I mean, we live in Australia.

112
00:06:18,575 --> 00:06:22,415
Speaker 4: It's just something you don't even comprehend is a possibility.

113
00:06:22,735 --> 00:06:24,695
Speaker 4: The first thing I thought when someone said they were

114
00:06:24,695 --> 00:06:28,414
Speaker 4: gunshots was like it was a joke or it was

115
00:06:28,975 --> 00:06:32,135
Speaker 4: just like someone misheard a gunshot. I was in denial.

116
00:06:32,215 --> 00:06:35,175
Speaker 4: I didn't believe that it was actually happening. And then

117
00:06:35,215 --> 00:06:39,055
Speaker 4: when I looked outside the window and saw Bondai full

118
00:06:39,055 --> 00:06:42,054
Speaker 4: of police cars and not a single person on the beach,

119
00:06:42,135 --> 00:06:46,015
Speaker 4: I was in complete shock, and I knew the extent

120
00:06:46,095 --> 00:06:49,495
Speaker 4: of how horrible this event was. The RSL has a

121
00:06:49,495 --> 00:06:53,335
Speaker 4: great view of the whole of Bonday, and everyone was hidden.

122
00:06:53,695 --> 00:06:56,575
Speaker 3: Eighties twenty four year old brother Leo was just finishing

123
00:06:56,655 --> 00:06:58,735
Speaker 3: up a shift at the North Bondi Surf Club when

124
00:06:58,815 --> 00:07:02,295
Speaker 3: chaos ensued. He says, as people fled for their lives,

125
00:07:02,535 --> 00:07:06,775
Speaker 3: his coworkers set up makeshift triage stations administering first aid

126
00:07:06,815 --> 00:07:09,094
Speaker 3: to people seeking safety inside the club.

127
00:07:10,415 --> 00:07:13,295
Speaker 5: Kind of affected me the most. Maybe the saddest was

128
00:07:13,375 --> 00:07:16,055
Speaker 5: seeing kids come up kind of without their parents, just

129
00:07:16,095 --> 00:07:19,575
Speaker 5: completely terrified, and then the parents running in like just

130
00:07:20,175 --> 00:07:22,495
Speaker 5: yelling after their kids, not knowing where they were. That

131
00:07:22,655 --> 00:07:25,255
Speaker 5: was that was probably the most distressing thing.

132
00:07:25,615 --> 00:07:26,335
Speaker 6: There was people in there.

133
00:07:26,335 --> 00:07:29,495
Speaker 5: There was a women in those brother actually had seen

134
00:07:29,775 --> 00:07:33,095
Speaker 5: her brother die and like just a lot of kind

135
00:07:33,135 --> 00:07:34,015
Speaker 5: of tragic scenes.

136
00:07:34,775 --> 00:07:37,775
Speaker 3: Images and videos began to flood social media as the

137
00:07:37,815 --> 00:07:43,015
Speaker 3: attack was still ongoing. Chaos, gunshots, police sirens, just hell

138
00:07:43,055 --> 00:07:47,215
Speaker 3: on Earth. Then a hero emerged, identified as father of

139
00:07:47,295 --> 00:07:50,215
Speaker 3: two and fruit shop owner Ahmed Alahmed, who was seen

140
00:07:50,255 --> 00:07:52,855

Speaker 8: I say this, I'm jugied.

159
00:08:51,054 --> 00:08:52,135
Speaker 9: Your heart is dead today.

160
00:08:52,255 --> 00:08:56,095
Speaker 8: Yes today I am starting go to Buntai Beach.

161
00:08:58,335 --> 00:09:01,095
Speaker 3: We now know two men, a fifty year old man

162
00:09:01,175 --> 00:09:03,935
Speaker 3: and his twenty four year old son, are responsible for

163
00:09:03,975 --> 00:09:08,215
Speaker 3: this atrocity. The older man killed by police, his son

164
00:09:08,535 --> 00:09:12,135
Speaker 3: in custody. In the aftermath of the attacks, world leaders

165
00:09:12,175 --> 00:09:14,975
Speaker 3: were quick to condemn them while sharing thoughts and prayers

166
00:09:14,975 --> 00:09:18,015
Speaker 3: for the families of victims, including our own Prime Minister,

167
00:09:18,135 --> 00:09:21,535
Speaker 3: who confirmed this was a direct targeted attack on the

168
00:09:21,615 --> 00:09:22,455
Speaker 3: Jewish community.

169
00:09:23,295 --> 00:09:26,135
Speaker 6: What we saw yesday was an active pure evil, an

170
00:09:26,135 --> 00:09:31,015
Speaker 6: active anti Semitism, an active terrorism on our shores in

171
00:09:31,095 --> 00:09:36,535
Speaker 6: an iconic Australian location, Bondo Beach, that is associated with joy,

172
00:09:37,215 --> 00:09:43,255
Speaker 6: associated with families gathering, associated with celebrations, and it is

173
00:09:43,295 --> 00:09:48,935
Speaker 6: forever tarnished by what has occurred last evening. This was

174
00:09:49,495 --> 00:09:53,735
Speaker 6: an attack deliberately targeted at the Jewish community on the

175
00:09:53,735 --> 00:09:56,694
Speaker 6: first day of Harnakah, which of course should be a

176
00:09:56,775 --> 00:10:01,615
Speaker 6: joyoush celebration and the Jewish community are hurting today. Today

177
00:10:01,735 --> 00:10:04,975
Speaker 6: all Australians wrap our arms around them and say we

178
00:10:05,054 --> 00:10:08,855
Speaker 6: stem we you. We will do whatever is necessary to

179
00:10:08,895 --> 00:10:12,695
Speaker 6: stamp out anti Semitism. It is to scourge and we

180
00:10:12,735 --> 00:10:14,775
Speaker 6: will eradicate it together.

181
00:10:15,375 --> 00:10:17,615
Speaker 3: In an act to make the Jewish community feel safe.

182
00:10:17,735 --> 00:10:20,935
Speaker 3: New South Wales Police Commissioner Mel Lanion also confirmed the

183
00:10:20,975 --> 00:10:24,855
Speaker 3: recommencement of Operations Shelter were three hundred and twenty eight

184
00:10:24,895 --> 00:10:28,535
Speaker 3: offices deployed to ensure an increase police presence at places

185
00:10:28,615 --> 00:10:32,535
Speaker 3: known to be frequented by the Jewish community, including places

186
00:10:32,535 --> 00:10:36,855
Speaker 3: of worship. New South Wales Premier Chris Mins also confirming

187
00:10:36,855 --> 00:10:40,054
Speaker 3: his government will look at changing laws surrounding gun ownership

188
00:10:40,135 --> 00:10:43,015
Speaker 3: in the state. The announcement comes after one of the

189
00:10:43,054 --> 00:10:46,535
Speaker 3: alleged shooters was revealed to hold a firearms license with

190
00:10:46,695 --> 00:10:48,775
Speaker 3: six firearms registered to his name.

191
00:10:49,215 --> 00:10:52,535
Speaker 10: I think it's time that we have a change to

192
00:10:52,575 --> 00:10:55,255
Speaker 10: the law in relation to the firearms legislation in New

193
00:10:55,295 --> 00:10:58,415
Speaker 10: South Wales, but I'm not ready to announce it today.

194
00:10:58,495 --> 00:11:01,735
Speaker 10: We want to make sure that prospective reform and change

195
00:11:01,735 --> 00:11:04,334
Speaker 10: in New South Wales has a lasting impact. But it's

196
00:11:04,535 --> 00:11:06,135
Speaker 10: not the last time of m mentioning it and you

197
00:11:06,135 --> 00:11:07,175
Speaker 10: can expect action toon.

198
00:11:08,335 --> 00:11:11,775
Speaker 3: The Prime Minister also throwing his support behind tougher gun laws,

199
00:11:12,054 --> 00:11:15,054
Speaker 3: adding it to the agenda of National Cabinet on Monday.

200
00:11:15,735 --> 00:11:19,215
Speaker 3: Executive Council of Australian Jury Head of Legal Simone Abel

201
00:11:19,375 --> 00:11:21,895
Speaker 3: has been reflecting on what the last few days have

202
00:11:22,015 --> 00:11:23,495
Speaker 3: looked and felt like for her.

203
00:11:24,255 --> 00:11:26,895
Speaker 9: I think I've been feeling a sense of shock, but

204
00:11:27,135 --> 00:11:31,335
Speaker 9: unfortunately not a sense of surprise. We've really known and

205
00:11:31,415 --> 00:11:34,135
Speaker 9: anticipated that this was coming. Of course, you know, we

206
00:11:34,175 --> 00:11:36,895
Speaker 9: didn't know exactly how it would come or when it

207
00:11:36,935 --> 00:11:39,175
Speaker 9: would but we knew it would come, and we've been

208
00:11:39,175 --> 00:11:44,295
Speaker 9: doing everything we can to ensure that the community is protected.

209
00:11:44,775 --> 00:11:49,455
Speaker 9: But you know, unfortunately terrorism finds its way through cracks,

210
00:11:49,655 --> 00:11:53,694
Speaker 9: and this has been a very devastating twenty four hours

211
00:11:53,775 --> 00:11:55,535
Speaker 9: or thereabouts for us.

212
00:11:56,375 --> 00:11:59,175
Speaker 3: Few agrees that gun laws need to be reassessed, but

213
00:11:59,535 --> 00:12:02,255
Speaker 3: guns are a symptom, not the sole cause of the

214
00:12:02,295 --> 00:12:04,055
Speaker 3: attacks like we saw at Bondai.

215
00:12:04,335 --> 00:12:08,735
Speaker 9: This is a problem that much beyond gun laws. The

216
00:12:08,775 --> 00:12:13,775
Speaker 9: gun possession and gun use is something that's symptomatic of

217
00:12:13,975 --> 00:12:17,295
Speaker 9: a much greater societal ill. You know, we've been saying

218
00:12:17,335 --> 00:12:20,655
Speaker 9: now for a long time, even before the October seventh

219
00:12:20,775 --> 00:12:25,895
Speaker 9: massacrebout Hateful words ultimately lead to hateful acts, and that's

220
00:12:25,935 --> 00:12:28,455
Speaker 9: what we saw and we've seen it. You know, There's

221
00:12:28,495 --> 00:12:31,455
Speaker 9: been many examples of this over the past two years,

222
00:12:31,575 --> 00:12:35,775
Speaker 9: ars and attacks via bombings, So there has been a

223
00:12:35,895 --> 00:12:40,655
Speaker 9: clear escalation to this moment and I think that the

224
00:12:40,735 --> 00:12:45,455
Speaker 9: government and the authorities need to look at respond beyond

225
00:12:45,615 --> 00:12:46,455
Speaker 9: gun control.

226
00:12:46,535 --> 00:12:51,375
Speaker 3: Here Simone has this message for Prime Minister Anthony Albanezi.

227
00:12:51,775 --> 00:12:54,975
Speaker 9: Whilst no doubt your heart is in the right place,

228
00:12:55,135 --> 00:12:58,335
Speaker 9: we need to see you take action now. We need

229
00:12:58,375 --> 00:13:02,535
Speaker 9: you to understand that there is a very active, serious

230
00:13:02,655 --> 00:13:06,375
Speaker 9: hate movement that's been bubbling a lot and has been

231
00:13:06,455 --> 00:13:10,814
Speaker 9: allowed to gain strength over the last two years, and

232
00:13:10,855 --> 00:13:13,934
Speaker 9: we need you to recognize that we as a community

233
00:13:14,054 --> 00:13:17,815
Speaker 9: also have human rights and we need your advocacy. We

234
00:13:17,895 --> 00:13:22,015
Speaker 9: need you to mobilize resources and support and make sure

235
00:13:22,095 --> 00:13:25,535
Speaker 9: something like this never ever happens again on Australian soil.

236
00:13:27,375 --> 00:13:29,895
Speaker 3: Claire has provided you with the latest from the ongoing

237
00:13:29,935 --> 00:13:33,814
Speaker 3: investigation and will continue to update you in the news headlines,

238
00:13:34,375 --> 00:13:37,015
Speaker 3: but today I want to focus on the very community

239
00:13:37,054 --> 00:13:41,815
Speaker 3: at the center of this terry incident. Our Jewish community today,

240
00:13:41,895 --> 00:13:44,615
Speaker 3: on which should mark the third night of Haneker, people

241
00:13:44,695 --> 00:13:49,215
Speaker 3: continue to more the loss of loved ones. Rebecca Davis

242
00:13:49,375 --> 00:13:52,454
Speaker 3: is a journalist and the media editor at the Australia

243
00:13:52,575 --> 00:13:56,334
Speaker 3: Israel and Jewish Affairs Council. She says, like many Jews

244
00:13:56,335 --> 00:13:59,735
Speaker 3: in Australia, this attack hits so close to home.

245
00:14:00,375 --> 00:14:05,055
Speaker 2: The last twenty four hours has been completely devastating. I'm

246
00:14:05,054 --> 00:14:08,375
Speaker 2: not I'm sure I've actually found the words that accurately

247
00:14:08,415 --> 00:14:11,935
Speaker 2: convey the horror that the Jewish community have felt that

248
00:14:12,054 --> 00:14:14,255
Speaker 2: I felt on a personal level. You know, I was

249
00:14:14,295 --> 00:14:16,975
Speaker 2: sitting there just on the couch, chilling out on a

250
00:14:16,975 --> 00:14:19,295
Speaker 2: Sunday night as you do, next to my mom when

251
00:14:19,335 --> 00:14:21,895
Speaker 2: the footage started rolling in on my phone and there

252
00:14:21,935 --> 00:14:26,095
Speaker 2: was no censorship about it and seeing Jews hunted on

253
00:14:26,295 --> 00:14:30,855
Speaker 2: Bondi Beach. I'm just talking about it now actually because

254
00:14:31,375 --> 00:14:33,775
Speaker 2: it was just the most harrowing footage to see, but

255
00:14:34,575 --> 00:14:38,815
Speaker 2: unfortunately not entirely unexpected, because we've seen such an increase

256
00:14:38,975 --> 00:14:41,815
Speaker 2: in the sentiment of anti Semitism in Australia over the

257
00:14:41,815 --> 00:14:44,575
Speaker 2: past couple of years, and this is what we were

258
00:14:44,615 --> 00:14:46,055
Speaker 2: all so afraid of.

259
00:14:46,975 --> 00:14:50,855
Speaker 3: What are the conversations that you've been having with your family,

260
00:14:51,135 --> 00:14:53,815
Speaker 3: your friends. You mentioned your mom there and your colleagues

261
00:14:53,815 --> 00:14:55,375
Speaker 3: as well since this has happened.

262
00:14:56,095 --> 00:14:59,015
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean we just sat in disbelief, my mum

263
00:14:59,015 --> 00:15:01,615
Speaker 2: and I and then we just grabbed each other and

264
00:15:01,695 --> 00:15:04,695
Speaker 2: we embraced. And then coming into my office this morning

265
00:15:04,735 --> 00:15:08,615
Speaker 2: with my colleagues, everyone was quietly working but would come

266
00:15:08,655 --> 00:15:11,015
Speaker 2: out and just look at each other and glassy eyes

267
00:15:11,055 --> 00:15:13,735
Speaker 2: and just embrace the hug. And there's just no words.

268
00:15:14,255 --> 00:15:16,455
Speaker 2: There's just no words at the moment. We're all checking

269
00:15:16,455 --> 00:15:19,575
Speaker 2: in on each other, We're all sending messages to friends,

270
00:15:19,615 --> 00:15:22,095
Speaker 2: loved ones, even people that were not so close with

271
00:15:22,255 --> 00:15:25,055
Speaker 2: But we know it's a small community. The Jewish community

272
00:15:25,135 --> 00:15:27,215
Speaker 2: is only one hundred and twenty thousand people in Australia,

273
00:15:27,295 --> 00:15:30,175
Speaker 2: which to put that in kind of terms that make

274
00:15:30,255 --> 00:15:33,495
Speaker 2: it understandable, is the MCG when it's full and people

275
00:15:33,575 --> 00:15:36,615
Speaker 2: standing on the ground were a very very small minority.

276
00:15:37,215 --> 00:15:40,815
Speaker 2: And so everyone knows of someone who has been directly affected.

277
00:15:41,455 --> 00:15:44,055
Speaker 2: And so it was harrowing as the news was coming

278
00:15:44,055 --> 00:15:47,135
Speaker 2: through last night, and the news still continues to you

279
00:15:47,135 --> 00:15:49,415
Speaker 2: don't want to jump and believe rumors, but there was

280
00:15:49,615 --> 00:15:52,695
Speaker 2: different eyewitness accounts that were coming through with victims, people

281
00:15:52,735 --> 00:15:55,375
Speaker 2: who've been shot, and you're trying to understand if any

282
00:15:55,375 --> 00:15:57,895
Speaker 2: of your loved ones are amongst that any friends. One

283
00:15:57,935 --> 00:16:00,455
Speaker 2: of my colleagues was graised with a bullet. One of

284
00:16:00,455 --> 00:16:03,855
Speaker 2: my former colleagues was also grazed. To say, it hits

285
00:16:03,895 --> 00:16:06,815
Speaker 2: close to home, doesn't even do it justice.

286
00:16:07,455 --> 00:16:11,095
Speaker 3: There's been a lot of calls Rebecca for unity in

287
00:16:11,135 --> 00:16:13,215
Speaker 3: our community. There's been a lot of calls for calm

288
00:16:13,455 --> 00:16:17,175
Speaker 3: at the moment as well. What does unity look like

289
00:16:17,255 --> 00:16:19,255
Speaker 3: to you in the wake of something like this happening.

290
00:16:19,615 --> 00:16:24,455
Speaker 2: Unity to me looks like everyone coming together every day,

291
00:16:24,535 --> 00:16:27,575
Speaker 2: Australians with the Jewish community, and I think that that's

292
00:16:28,135 --> 00:16:31,335
Speaker 2: something that the Jewish community has felt an absence of

293
00:16:31,575 --> 00:16:34,335
Speaker 2: in the past couple of years. I myself, as a journalist,

294
00:16:34,615 --> 00:16:37,975
Speaker 2: I've written about antisemitism for most of my professional life

295
00:16:38,015 --> 00:16:42,135
Speaker 2: just on ten years, and I've documented and the increase

296
00:16:42,335 --> 00:16:45,495
Speaker 2: that I've seen over that time. But once October seven

297
00:16:45,575 --> 00:16:48,975
Speaker 2: happened twenty twenty three, we saw a real search and

298
00:16:49,055 --> 00:16:52,815
Speaker 2: it became very serious, very quickly. And if we learn

299
00:16:52,895 --> 00:16:56,655
Speaker 2: anything from history, we understand that words lead to action,

300
00:16:56,935 --> 00:16:59,935
Speaker 2: words lead to violence, and when left unchecked, and when

301
00:17:00,055 --> 00:17:03,975
Speaker 2: left without serious leadership in every level of our society,

302
00:17:04,095 --> 00:17:09,014
Speaker 2: from the government through to state leadership in our police forces,

303
00:17:09,655 --> 00:17:14,855
Speaker 2: in every sphere of Australian society, creative business, health care, education.

304
00:17:15,534 --> 00:17:18,054
Speaker 2: When hate is left unchecked and it's left to festa,

305
00:17:18,655 --> 00:17:21,414
Speaker 2: it becomes violence. And this is what we're also afraid of.

306
00:17:21,614 --> 00:17:24,254
Speaker 2: Just twelve months ago, almost to the day, was the

307
00:17:24,294 --> 00:17:27,215
Speaker 2: fire bombing terror attack of the udussis Rael synagogue here

308
00:17:27,215 --> 00:17:29,895
Speaker 2: in Melbourne, which is just five minutes down the road

309
00:17:29,895 --> 00:17:33,374
Speaker 2: from where I live. And when I think about the

310
00:17:33,415 --> 00:17:35,935
Speaker 2: media that I was doing at that time, the sentiments

311
00:17:35,935 --> 00:17:39,094
Speaker 2: haven't changed. We were all screaming for so long that

312
00:17:39,215 --> 00:17:41,455
Speaker 2: action needs to be done. It's not the time anymore

313
00:17:41,494 --> 00:17:44,455
Speaker 2: for empty platitudes and for words. We've had an anti

314
00:17:44,494 --> 00:17:47,094
Speaker 2: Semitism envoy who's been appointed and yet none of her

315
00:17:47,135 --> 00:17:51,774
Speaker 2: recommendations were put into place. And yet we've seen children

316
00:17:51,814 --> 00:17:56,054
Speaker 2: that have been targeted, villified, businesses vandalized. We've seen synagogues

317
00:17:56,054 --> 00:17:59,574
Speaker 2: firebombed both in Melbourne Sydney, Jewish property as well cars,

318
00:17:59,734 --> 00:18:03,854
Speaker 2: arson attacks. It's just spiraled and we've seen it happen

319
00:18:03,935 --> 00:18:07,135
Speaker 2: before our eyes, and we've been outing for action, real action,

320
00:18:07,254 --> 00:18:10,615
Speaker 2: to stop this, and unfortunately that hasn't happened, and now

321
00:18:10,655 --> 00:18:16,014
Speaker 2: we're looking at the murder of at least fifteen Jewish people.

322
00:18:16,574 --> 00:18:19,455
Speaker 3: What do you think the lasting impact of an attack

323
00:18:19,574 --> 00:18:21,815
Speaker 3: like this will have on our Jewish community? And then

324
00:18:21,895 --> 00:18:24,494
Speaker 3: I guess also as our country as a whole, we're

325
00:18:24,534 --> 00:18:28,014
Speaker 3: not used to seeing these mass acts of violence in Australia.

326
00:18:28,135 --> 00:18:29,894
Speaker 3: So what do you think the lasting impact will be.

327
00:18:30,455 --> 00:18:33,055
Speaker 2: You're right in saying that we're not used to seeing this,

328
00:18:33,415 --> 00:18:37,734
Speaker 2: and I think that's what we've seen from history, but

329
00:18:37,895 --> 00:18:45,375
Speaker 2: also seeing this increase in extremism in terrorism, and we've

330
00:18:45,375 --> 00:18:47,694
Speaker 2: been seeing that also on our streets. We've seen that

331
00:18:47,814 --> 00:18:51,534
Speaker 2: in the display of prescribed terror organizations and their flags

332
00:18:51,574 --> 00:18:54,734
Speaker 2: and the sentiment from October ninth on the steps of

333
00:18:54,734 --> 00:18:58,654
Speaker 2: the Sydney Opera House. So I think that this is

334
00:18:58,814 --> 00:19:01,695
Speaker 2: very foreign for us. But you know, already there's been

335
00:19:01,734 --> 00:19:03,814
Speaker 2: so much talk over the last two years of Jews

336
00:19:03,814 --> 00:19:06,494
Speaker 2: actually looking at each other here saying are we still

337
00:19:06,534 --> 00:19:09,254
Speaker 2: safe in Australia. There's been many Jews that have talked

338
00:19:09,254 --> 00:19:12,534
Speaker 2: about going to Israel. Now, Israel is a country that

339
00:19:12,655 --> 00:19:15,614
Speaker 2: was fighting a war on seven different fronts. If Jews

340
00:19:15,614 --> 00:19:18,534
Speaker 2: in the relative calm and safety. What's meant to be

341
00:19:18,655 --> 00:19:21,494
Speaker 2: what we've always known of Australia. Are looking to go

342
00:19:21,854 --> 00:19:24,574
Speaker 2: to the Middle East and completely start again in a

343
00:19:24,774 --> 00:19:27,614
Speaker 2: country that's fighting a seven front war. It tells you

344
00:19:27,655 --> 00:19:30,574
Speaker 2: a lot about the very real sense of fear that

345
00:19:30,655 --> 00:19:31,814
Speaker 2: has existed.

346
00:19:31,455 --> 00:19:36,294
Speaker 11: In the community and understanding where that might go, Rebecca,

347
00:19:36,334 --> 00:19:38,695
Speaker 11: before I let you go, a lot of people the

348
00:19:38,774 --> 00:19:41,534
Speaker 11: rhetorican line has been that this is not our Australia,

349
00:19:41,574 --> 00:19:44,774
Speaker 11: this is not what Australians do, and there's no place

350
00:19:44,895 --> 00:19:47,775
Speaker 11: in our country for this kind of terror and horror.

351
00:19:48,455 --> 00:19:51,654
Speaker 3: There's been lots of acts of heroism that have emerged

352
00:19:51,854 --> 00:19:56,494
Speaker 3: since the attack happened on Sunday evening, lots of paramedics,

353
00:19:56,494 --> 00:20:00,014
Speaker 3: lots of medical staff authorities all being involved. There's one

354
00:20:00,054 --> 00:20:02,774
Speaker 3: particular video though, that's circulating of a man in a

355
00:20:02,814 --> 00:20:06,334
Speaker 3: white T shirt, just an ordinary guy who able to

356
00:20:06,574 --> 00:20:08,815
Speaker 3: wrestle a gun away from one of the alleged gunmen.

357
00:20:09,455 --> 00:20:12,374
Speaker 3: That has to be our Australia, right, that's what we

358
00:20:12,415 --> 00:20:14,614
Speaker 3: should be doing for each other in times like this.

359
00:20:15,494 --> 00:20:17,695
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I'd love to see more of that. I mean,

360
00:20:17,734 --> 00:20:22,094
Speaker 2: that's incredible footage, what a brave bystanderp I think that's

361
00:20:22,094 --> 00:20:25,375
Speaker 2: something that not just on a government and policy maker

362
00:20:25,455 --> 00:20:28,334
Speaker 2: level that's been missing from this, but the Jewish community

363
00:20:28,334 --> 00:20:30,734
Speaker 2: has really felt a sense of silence from the broader

364
00:20:30,734 --> 00:20:32,894
Speaker 2: community that we're very much a part of. You know,

365
00:20:33,375 --> 00:20:36,935
Speaker 2: I myself, my family story, like the first Jewish member

366
00:20:36,935 --> 00:20:39,334
Speaker 2: of my family came to Australia in the eighteen fifties

367
00:20:39,334 --> 00:20:42,894
Speaker 2: from Poland. It's not an uncommon story. We're very well

368
00:20:42,975 --> 00:20:46,934
Speaker 2: a part of Australian society and that's the Australia that

369
00:20:47,014 --> 00:20:49,855
Speaker 2: we all thought existed, and to see that there are

370
00:20:50,375 --> 00:20:53,655
Speaker 2: parts of that that still exist is hopeful and amazing,

371
00:20:53,734 --> 00:20:56,014
Speaker 2: and I think just on a basic human level, we

372
00:20:56,014 --> 00:20:58,934
Speaker 2: would love to feel that embrace from more people. On

373
00:20:58,975 --> 00:21:01,494
Speaker 2: your social media, get in touch with your Jewish friends,

374
00:21:01,534 --> 00:21:03,694
Speaker 2: or if you don't have Jewish friends, just get in

375
00:21:03,774 --> 00:21:06,774
Speaker 2: touch and allow us to feel that sense of embrace

376
00:21:07,375 --> 00:21:10,855
Speaker 2: and to feel that you're with us. Because historically as well,

377
00:21:11,054 --> 00:21:12,855
Speaker 2: I know, I keep going back to history, but really

378
00:21:12,854 --> 00:21:14,455
Speaker 2: we can learn a lot of lessons from it, and

379
00:21:15,294 --> 00:21:17,094
Speaker 2: Jews have always been the Canarian the coal mine. It

380
00:21:17,135 --> 00:21:18,935
Speaker 2: starts with the Jews, but it doesn't end with us.

381
00:21:19,014 --> 00:21:21,254
Speaker 2: This is a threat on all of the values that

382
00:21:21,294 --> 00:21:24,695
Speaker 2: we hold dear as a liberal democracy, all our Western values,

383
00:21:24,734 --> 00:21:27,894
Speaker 2: all our freedoms. All that was happening were people coming

384
00:21:27,935 --> 00:21:32,054
Speaker 2: together in happiness, in joy, spending time with their families, dancing.

385
00:21:32,375 --> 00:21:34,774
Speaker 2: That's things we all enjoy and that's the Australia we

386
00:21:34,814 --> 00:21:37,135
Speaker 2: know and love. And it doesn't matter where you come from.

387
00:21:37,215 --> 00:21:41,374
Speaker 2: We've always just come here on this hope and this

388
00:21:41,534 --> 00:21:45,054
Speaker 2: dream of a place where everyone's equal and where everyone

389
00:21:45,494 --> 00:21:48,375
Speaker 2: has opportunity to make whatever they want for the life themselves,

390
00:21:48,375 --> 00:21:51,455
Speaker 2: what they study, where they work. And that's the Australia

391
00:21:51,494 --> 00:21:53,974
Speaker 2: we want to get back to, not this division, because

392
00:21:54,375 --> 00:21:56,294
Speaker 2: that's the special part of this country.

393
00:21:57,254 --> 00:21:59,894
Speaker 3: There's been renewed calls for the Prime Minister to endorse

394
00:21:59,935 --> 00:22:03,334
Speaker 3: the Plan to combat anti Semitism handed down back in

395
00:22:03,415 --> 00:22:07,975
Speaker 3: July by Australia's Anti Semitism Envoy Gillian Siegel. As part

396
00:22:08,014 --> 00:22:10,814
Speaker 3: of the plan, there's calls for stronger laws and enforcement,

397
00:22:11,094 --> 00:22:16,494
Speaker 3: more education, and institutional accountability, including potentially withholding funding of

398
00:22:16,574 --> 00:22:19,934
Speaker 3: tertiary institutions that don't do enough to curb anti Semitic

399
00:22:19,975 --> 00:22:24,294
Speaker 3: behavior on campus, and increase security upgrades at places like

400
00:22:24,375 --> 00:22:29,134
Speaker 3: Jewish schools. Synagogues and community centers. There's also been calls

401
00:22:29,135 --> 00:22:32,254
Speaker 3: from spiritual leaders across the spectrum for calm at this

402
00:22:32,375 --> 00:22:36,614
Speaker 3: time of great sadness. Australia's largest masque, the Amadea Muslim

403
00:22:36,614 --> 00:22:40,974
Speaker 3: Community Australia, has condemned the attack. National President imam inam

404
00:22:41,054 --> 00:22:44,534
Speaker 3: ulhak Kosa, issuing this statement in the hours after the

405
00:22:44,614 --> 00:22:45,574
Speaker 3: horror unfolded.

406
00:22:46,534 --> 00:22:49,294
Speaker 12: We are heartbroken by the brutality of this attack on

407
00:22:49,334 --> 00:22:54,135
Speaker 12: a peaceful community gathering. Such acts of violence, targeting innocent

408
00:22:54,175 --> 00:22:57,415
Speaker 12: people and aiming to sow division and fear have absolutely

409
00:22:57,494 --> 00:23:00,854
Speaker 12: no place in Australia. An attack on any community is

410
00:23:00,854 --> 00:23:01,895
Speaker 12: an attack on all of us.

411
00:23:03,175 --> 00:23:06,334
Speaker 3: As Bondai and the wider Ossie community, Greed Team Quickie

412
00:23:06,334 --> 00:23:08,454
Speaker 3: want to send our thoughts to our Jewish friends and

413
00:23:08,494 --> 00:23:11,294
Speaker 3: their loved ones. The last forty eight hours have been

414
00:23:11,415 --> 00:23:15,535
Speaker 3: horrifying beyond measure, so please know their support available if

415
00:23:15,574 --> 00:23:18,014
Speaker 3: you need it. If you'd like to speak to a professional,

416
00:23:18,054 --> 00:23:22,254
Speaker 3: you can contact Lifeline on thirteen eleven fourteen. We've also

417
00:23:22,294 --> 00:23:24,695
Speaker 3: provided ways you can help the victims of this shocking

418
00:23:24,734 --> 00:23:26,374
Speaker 3: tragedy in our show notes.

419
00:23:27,014 --> 00:23:32,015
Speaker 6: My fellow Australians, I say tonight that there are nights

420
00:23:32,014 --> 00:23:37,014
Speaker 6: that tear at our nation's soul. In this moment of darkness,

421
00:23:37,935 --> 00:23:41,654
Speaker 6: we must be each other's light, hold on to the

422
00:23:41,695 --> 00:23:45,774
Speaker 6: true character of the country that we love. Australia is

423
00:23:45,814 --> 00:23:48,895
Speaker 6: stronger than the cowards who attacked Innis and people today.

424
00:23:49,655 --> 00:23:54,615
Speaker 6: Australia is braver than those who seek to make us afraid.

425
00:23:54,895 --> 00:23:59,774
Speaker 6: Australia will never submit to division, violence or hatred. We

426
00:23:59,895 --> 00:24:04,695
Speaker 6: will see justice done and we will come through this together.

427
00:24:05,655 --> 00:24:08,734
Speaker 3: Will be back with more details in this afternoon's headlines.

428
00:24:09,294 --> 00:24:12,894
Speaker 3: The Quikie is produced by me Taylor Strano, Ilaria Brophy,

429
00:24:13,135 --> 00:24:17,615
Speaker 3: Claire Murphy, Talie Blackman, and Rafaela Chicarelli, with audio production

430
00:24:18,014 --> 00:24:18,734
Speaker 3: by Lou Hill.

431
00:24:23,375 --> 00:24:26,494
Speaker 1: Mamma Mea acknowledges the traditional owners of land and waters

432
00:24:26,494 --> 00:24:28,174
Speaker 1: that this podcast is recorded on
