Australian lifesavers return to duty at Bondi Beach after massacre

  • This past week New South Wales lifeguards gathered at Bondi Beach to remember those killed in the December 14 terror attack, with hundreds forming a golden line and surfers holding a paddle-out.
  • Many Bondi lifeguards were at the scene when the shooting unfolded and ran into the fray from a nearby Christmas party to provide shelter and medical care, later hugging as emotions remained raw.
  • Organisers from Bondi Surf Bathers' Life Saving Club arranged a three-minute silence for the victims, and Surf Life Saving Australia said `We stand shoulder to shoulder to show we are a united group of surf lifesavers and lifeguards across the country`.
  • The NSW government plans to introduce laws allowing the police commissioner to suspend protest authorisations after terror incidents, with declarations lasting two weeks and renewable for up to three months, set to be rushed through next week, Premier Chris Minns said he expects them to withstand legal challenge.
  • With the NSW Supreme Court able to hear urgent applications every day, civil liberties groups and MPs warned the proposed powers are overly broad and likely to face immediate court tests.
