The family of Matilda, the 10-year-old girl killed in Sunday’s attack, addressed the crowd in Bondi on Tuesday night.
Her father, Michael, said he wanted the crowd to know what a “beautiful person” she was. “Her name was Matilda because she was our first Australian,” he said, holding a framed picture of his daughter.
“We came here from Ukraine … and I thought that Matilda is the most Australian name that can ever exist. So just remember the name, remember her.”

Total incompetence and neglect by #PeabodyHousing. After 4 years still not completed basic repairs to roofing cladding and windows. Criminal costs spent on scaffolding now causing rubbish, vermin and attracting graffiti.
Also residents have been left without natural light for over 4 years with no explanation why simple works havenot been completed and little to no work done in the last 6 months. Total neglect and disregard for basic human rights and living conditions. @AntoineSpeaker@nearlylegal
Donald Trump announces the U.S. government will only recognize two genders as of today:
“As of today, it will henceforth be the official policy of the United States government that there are only two genders: male and female.”
All the signs are there for a patriarchal dictatorship to grow unchecked in the most powerful country in the world. What use is a strong economy without basic human rights? Will review this post in 4 years, but I really hope I’m wrong about this.
Today marks the beginning of The Handmaids Tale in the USA for real. I’m terrified for women as well as LGBTQ+ , POC and other marginalised minorities.
So ashamed to be Australian today. Sadly it seems the lies won, similar vibes to the Brexit campaign. So backwards and small minded to vote No to basic constitutional recognition for First Nations that the majority of the indigenous population seemed to want #YES2023 :((
Dammn I miss Plastic People… where do u go now… to dance with the musical unknown. To float off into darkness and submit to the magic. Form, function and perception were an afterthought. Complete musical freedom, free from corporate and superficial interests. Sucka free.
@cathitza We’ve been in a similar situation with damp around windows but for about 5 years. It took windows actually falling out of our building and nearly killing residents & reported on ITV before @PeabodyLDN chose to act. Even then it has still taken over 18 months to replace windows
