Day of Mourning for Bondi Beach Attack Victims
Today marks a National Day of Mourning to honour the victims of the Bondi Beach terrorist attack.
It is a time for us to come together in remembrance and reflection, and to support one another across all faiths, cultures and backgrounds.
Chief Minister Lia Finocchiaro, on behalf of the Northern Territory Government, said the Territory stands with all Australians in remembering lives senselessly lost.
“December 14 is a day we will never forget, the largest terrorist act on Australian soil.
“Our thoughts are with the families and loved ones experiencing unimaginable grief.
“We stand in solidarity with the Jewish community in the Northern Territory and across Australia. Antisemitism and hatred have no place in our country.”
Members of the public are invited to observe one minute of silence at 5:31pm (ACST) tonight. Parliament House will be illuminated white in tribute.
People may also choose to place a candle on their doorstep or in a window as a symbol of remembrance, mourning and solidarity with the Jewish community.
Flags will be flown at half-mast on all Northern Territory Government buildings. Other organisations are also welcome to participate.
