Australia’s Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says he has ordered a review into the police and intelligence services after the mass shooting at a Hanukkah event last week at Bondi Beach.

The government will examine whether it has the right powers and structures “to keep Australians safe in the wake of the horrific antisemitic Bondi Beach terrorist attack,” he says in a statement.
