Thousands of people attended a memorial at Bondi Beach to remember the country's worst mass shooting in three decades.

A day of reflection came at the end of Hanukkah, the Jewish festival of lights.

The Prime Minister Antony Albanese was booed by sections of the crowd.

His government has been criticized for its response to rising anti-Semitism.

Mr Albanese has promised a crackdown on extremism and a review into the powers and processes of the intelligence agencies and the police.

One person shouted to Anthony Albanese that he had blood on his hands, and that is a sentiment that we have heard repeatedly down here.

There has been stinging criticism of the prime minister and his centre-left government over what they believe is their failure to stem a rising tide of anti-Semitism.

The prime minister rejects that, but he did say this week that he wasn't perfect.

And we've seen some significant political announcements as he seeks to gain a more steady footing in this debate.

James Harrison was known in Australia as the man with the golden arm. His blood contained a rare antibody called Anti-D. It's given to pregnant mothers whose cells are at risk of attacking their unborn babies. Mr. Harrison had been donating blood plasma every two weeks since he was 18 years old. He continued until he was 81. His dedication saved the lives of more than 2 million babies.

This appears to have been recorded in a hospital. The video was shared on TikTok by a content creator called Max Vifer, who says he's from Israel. Now, in the footage, another man who claims to be a doctor tells Mr. Vifer that he sends Israelis to an Islamic place akin to hell. Now, this man goes on to make a throat-slitting gesture saying,

A woman then comes on the screen and says that she won't care for Israelis in the hospital. I won't treat them. I will kill them, she says. And as you'd imagine, this video has generated immense outrage and fear here in Australia and beyond.

Well, the police here in Australia say that they have identified the two nurses involved in the video. They have been suspended. Now, state authorities here in New South Wales say that these two nurses are under investigation and will never work in the Australian health system again. The Australian Prime Minister, Antony Albanese, said that this video was disgusting and vile.

Well, this all comes as Australia has recently passed tougher laws against hate crimes following a wave of high profile anti-Semitic attacks here in Australia in recent weeks and months. We have heard from the head of the Executive Council of Australian Jury, a man called Alex Rivchin, and he's given his reaction to seeing this video.
