Good afternoon. Under rapid questioning over the NSW police response to Sunday’s terror attack at Bondi beach, Chris Minns offered a heated defence. “There are two officers in critical care,” he said. “They weren’t shot in the back as they were running away. They were shot in the front.”
At the same press conference this afternoon, the prime minister said the father and son duo allegedly behind the attack appeared to have been inspired by Islamic State, as police confirmed they were investigating why the pair recently visited the Philippines.
