We can bring you some fresh comments now from Australian Prime Minsiter Anthony Albanese – his office just sent us lines from an radio interview he gave to ABC Sydney.
“It would appear that this was motivated by Islamic State ideology,” he says of the shooting attack at Bondi Beach on Sunday.
Albanese continues: “The ideology that has been around for more than a decade that led to this ideology of hate, and in this case, a preparedness to engage in mass murder.
He also called the attack “meticulous, calculated, cold-blooded” and said that all the information received by the investigation so far indicated that the two gunman had acted alone.
