The family of Probationary Constable Jack Hibbert, who was injured in the Bondi terror attack, say it’s a Christmas miracle that he has now returned home from hospital.

The 22-year-old was on duty patrolling Jewish Hanukkah celebrations on Dec. 14 when Sajid and Naveed Akram allegedly opened fire on the crowd, killing 15 people and wounding dozens more.
