Victims of the Attack
The shooting occurred during a Hanukah celebration, marking the first day of the festival. Victims ranged in age from 10 to 87, including Holocaust survivors and community volunteers. The tragedy has been labeled the worst mass shooting in Australia since the 1996 Port Arthur massacre. The community is grappling with the loss of loved ones, including Matilda, who has become a symbol of the innocent lives lost.
Community Response
In the wake of the attack, former attorney general Mark Dreyfus spoke on Radio National, expressing that Australians would unite against the hatred that fueled the violence. He emphasized the importance of community support, stating that the event was a nightmare for many, particularly within the Jewish community. Dreyfus reassured that such acts of violence would not succeed in dividing the nation.
Government's Economic Outlook
As the community deals with the aftermath of the attack, Treasurer Jim Chalmers is set to release the midyear economic and fiscal outlook (Myefo). Despite a multi-billion dollar improvement in the federal budget, the deficit is expected to nearly quadruple to AUD 36.8 billion this financial year. Chalmers aims to reassure the public of the government's fiscal responsibility amidst rising inflation and spending pressures.
