"I've gone through the different decisions that have been taken in this respect, and I have confidence of the decisions that [were] made, Burke told the ABC's 7.30 on Wednesday. Obviously, they are not all decisions that were made during the life of this particular government, but I'm not playing political games with any of this.

"In a translated post on the social media site X, he said these heinous acts are a direct result of rampant antisemitism, which is fuelled by a flaccid policy of authorities in the country and of the Australian government."
"It comes as the Jewish community in Bondi is preparing for another day of funerals for the 15 people killed, including a service for 10-year-old Matilda, the youngest person killed in the attack. The first two funerals, for rabbis Eli Schlanger and Yaakov Levitan, were held on Wednesday. Seventeen of the 38 people injured in the shooting remain in hospital, including one in a critical condition. Israel's prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, said overnight that he had spoken to Schlanger's father-in-law, Rabbi Yehoram Ulman, and the chairman of the Israel-Australia Jewish Council, Arsen Ostrovsky, who was wounded in the attack."
Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke said he has full confidence in the Australian Security and Intelligence Organisation after reviewing decisions and actions regarding 24-year-old Naveed Akram, who was charged with 59 offences including 15 counts of murder. Akram first came to attention in October 2019 for alleged associations with individuals linked to a reported Islamic State cell. Questions have arisen over how the father and son duo allegedly behind the Bondi attack travelled to the Philippines without triggering flags. The Jewish community in Bondi is holding multiple funerals for the 15 killed, and 17 of 38 wounded remain hospitalized.
