Australian PM vows crackdown on ‘hate, division and radicalization’ in response to Hanukkah attack

SYDNEY — Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese promises a crackdown on “hate, division and radicalization” after terrorists opened fire at a Jewish event in Sydney, killing 15 and wounding dozens more.

“It is clear we need to do more to combat this evil scourge, much more,” Albanese tells a news conference, vowing to target extremist preachers and to cancel visas for people spreading hatred.
