Anthony Albanese has announced the creation of a special honours list to recognise the bravery of those who helped respond to the Bondi terror attack, paying tribute to police, medical staff and ordinary citizens who leapt into action during the antisemitic massacre.

The awards, to be presented next year after consultation with the New South Wales state government, will honour “the best of humanity”, the prime minister said at a press conference on Wednesday.
