‘Heartening’ to see people ‘look out for each other’ in Bondi

Liberal Senator Dave Sharma says it was “heartening” to see people “look out for each other” at Bondi Junction during the knife attack on Saturday. Six people are confirmed dead and a further 12 people are hospitalised after the deadly knife attack. The knifeman was shot dead by a female police officer who was nearby the Westfield when the attack unfolded and rushed to the scene to help. Mr Sharma said people will likely hear many more stories of bravery. “Civilians who are unarmed and obviously untrained doing their best to deal with this offender, to deflect him away, to repel his assaults,” he told Sky News Australia. “And of course the lone police officer, what a tremendous act of bravery.”
