I mean, particularly I was thinking of what the Israeli prime minister had to say, apparently directly blaming, it seemed, the Australian prime minister.

Yes, Anthony Albanese has sidestepped that particular issue, indicating that it's far too early to get involved in that sort of politics.

But certainly Australia's response to anti-Semitism will come under greater scrutiny.

Mr Albanese has said in the last 24 hours that his government has taken the issue of attacks on synagogues, on cars, on restaurants very seriously.

We've told that the older of the two suspects was a licensed gun holder.

And what strikes me is that Australia is often praised for having very tight gun control laws, tight restrictions on who gets to own a gun.

Presumably, there's now going to be questions raised about whether those laws really work.

Well, we heard from the New South Wales state premier, a man called Chris Minns, and he is suggesting that those gun laws could well be revisited.

This is Australia's worst mass shooting for almost 30 years.

In 1996, 35 people died at a place called Port Arthur on the island state of Tasmania.

When voters went to the polls on Sunday, they had two candidates for president.

On the one hand, a communist.

On the other, a man usually described as far-right.
