NSW Premier Chris Minns has again defended Australia’s approach to free speech saying it is deliberately different from the United States and not embedded in the Constitution.

The Premier said these limits are necessary to preserve the nation’s multicultural community reigniting debate over where the balance should sit between free expression and social cohesion.

Former prime minister John Howard says further tightening Australias gun laws should only occur where sensible warning that the renewed push after the Bondi attack risks missing the real problem.

Howard whose Port Arthur reforms reshaped gun control in Australia said the focus on fi****ms is an attempted diversion from confronting rising antisemitism which he believes was a key failure leading to the attack.

National cabinet is now considering limits on gun ownership a cap on how many fi****ms a person can hold and time limited licences. While Howard supports measured reform he says the country must not avoid a broader conversation about hatred and extremism.

Security sources say the Bondi attackers travelled to the Philippines for what has been described as military style training just weeks before the deadly terror attack that killed 15 people at a Hanukkah celebration.

According to the ABC, the father and son journeyed through the southern Philippines a region long linked to extremist groups before returning to Australia late last month. Authorities are now examining potential ties to an international jihadist network.

The report also confirms one of the gunmen had previously been investigated by ASIO in 2019 over extremist associations but was not on a terrorism watchlist at the time of the attack. The revelations have raised urgent questions about overseas radicalisation travel and domestic security oversight.

The daughter of a Bondi terror attack victim has publicly challenged the ABC over what she describes as biased reporting while appearing on the broadcaster’s own breakfast program.

She described how he was injured as he stood up and how his partner used a belt as a tourniquet to stop the bleeding before he was taken to hospital for surgery.

Ms Teplitsky said she was angry at political leaders and the national broadcaster accusing the ABC of failing to fairly report on Israel and antisemitism. She warned that growing hostility towards Jewish Australians has left her community feeling unheard and unsafe calling on leaders and media to listen and act.
