Chinese-Australian Community Unequivocally Condemns the Bondi Beach Terrorist Attack
14 December 2025
Tonight, we mourn and stand with the families of the victims of the terrorist attack at Bondi Beach. This senseless act claimed at least 11 innocent lives and injured many during what should have been a time of joy and celebration. Our hearts go out to the victims, their loved ones, and the Jewish community in Sydney and across Australia.
The Chinese Community Council of Australia, Victoria Chapter (CCCAV) and the undersigned organisations unequivocally condemns this horrific act of violence, extremism, and hatred. As a multicultural society, we must stand together against violence, extremism, and hatred in all its forms. We expresse our unwavering solidarity with the Jewish community in this difficult time and calls on all communities to respond with calm, unity, and compassion.
We commend the bravery of first responders and the kindness of those who assisted in the aftermath. Their actions remind us of the strength that comes from caring for one another.
In this time of grief, let us reaffirm our shared values of peace, respect, and inclusion. We urge everyone to support those who are vulnerable, reject divisive rhetoric, and work together to ensure that such acts of terror never define who we are and never happen again.
Let us honour the memory of the victims by building bridges, not walls—by fostering understanding and harmony among all Australians.
