Australia’s Parliament has marked the Bondi Beach terrorist attack with a national condolence motion, one month after the mass shooting that killed 15 people.

The motion was moved on Jan. 19—Parliament’s first sitting day of 2026 as the House of Representatives began proceedings earlier than scheduled with Speaker Milton Dick calling on members to observe a minute’s silence.
