Prime Minister Anthony Albanese announces date for national day of mourning over Bondi Beach attack

Australia will mark a national day of mourning for the Bondi Beach terror attack on Thursday, January 22.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese made the announcement this morning, saying he had discussed the matter with NSW Premier Chris Minns and Rabbi Yehoram Ulman, the spiritual leader of the Chabad community in Bondi.

"This will have a theme of 'light will win', a gathering of unity and remembrance, which has been determined by the rabbi," Albanese said.

"He has shown extraordinary leadership for someone who has lost family members in that community."

On January 22, flags will be flown at half mast in all Commonwealth buildings around Australia.

Albanese said further details would be announced at the end of the week.

The day of mourning comes almost exactly a month after a "day of reflection" on December 21.

On that day, flags were also lowered to half mast on government buildings, while Australians were invited to light a candle and observe a minute's silence at 6.47pm on the day, the time of the attack.

Multiple memorials and vigils have also been held, especially at Bondi, the site of the terror shooting.

His son, Naveed, was wounded and has since been charged with multiple offences, including 15 counts of murder.
