Australia’s prime minister vowed to stamp out extremism Thursday as the nation mourned the youngest victim of the Bondi Beach shooting, a 10-year-old girl remembered as “our little ray of sunshine”.
Father-and-son gunmen are accused of firing into crowds at a beachside Jewish festival on Sunday evening, killing 15 in an onslaught authorities linked to “Islamic State ideology”.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese promised a sweeping crackdown to banish the “evil of antisemitism from our society”.
“Australians are shocked and angry. I am angry. It is clear we need to do more to combat this evil scourge,” he told reporters.
