We are going to put the blog to bed now. Before we go, let’s recap the big headlines from the day:
Thirteen people injured during the Bondi attacks remain in hospital, where they are undergoing treatment.
A royal commission into the events surrounding the Bondi attacks will complete the “jigsaw” and give Australians the answers they are looking for in the wake of the attacks, the New South Wales premier, Chris Minns, said.
Barnaby Joyce addressed a small anti-immigration rally in Sydney despite pleas from the premier for it not to go ahead.
A floral memorial left by community members to honour the memory of those killed during the Bondi attacks will be removed on Monday for historical preservation.
Crowds in white gathered despite the heat at an afternoon Bondi beachside vigil. The governor general, Sam Mostyn, said she will make it her “national project” to promote care, kindness and respect for the Jewish community and all Australians following the wake of the Bondi terror attack.
Anthony Albanese asked former Asio boss Dennis Richardson and the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet to lead a review into Australia’s federal law enforcement and intelligence agencies. He announced the move amid growing calls for a royal commission into last week’s Bondi shootings.
Albanese was booed by some people in the crowd as he arrived for the evening vigil to mark a week since the Bondi attack, and again during official welcomes.
In his speech the president of the New South Wales Jewish Board of Deputies, David Ossip, called for a royal commission into the attack.
Here’s our full report on the speeches at this evening’s commemoration.
