00:00A moment meant for mourning turned into a moment of anger.

00:22Australia's Prime Minister Anthony Albanese was booed and jeered as he arrived at Bondi

00:28Beach for a commemoration marking one week since the deadly terror attack that targeted

00:34the Jewish community.

00:37Cries of shame rang out as the Prime Minister stepped onto the site where 15 people were

00:43killed.

00:46Local media reported that Albanese faced hostility almost immediately upon arrival.

00:53The Prime Minister was again booed later during the ceremony when a speaker publicly

00:58thanked him for attending.

01:00The reaction reflects growing public frustration over claims that the government failed to act

01:05decisively against rising anti-Semitism before the attack.

01:11The commemoration itself was solemn and emotional.

01:15Following a national minute of silence, Australia's national anthem was played.

01:21Jewish community leaders then recited psalms and the El Malay Rahamim prayer, honoring the

01:27victims killed during the Hanukkah celebration.

01:33The Bondi Beach shooting, Australia's deadliest mass attack in nearly 30 years, has been officially

01:40declared a terrorist incident.

01:44Police say the gunmen were inspired by Islamic State ideology.

01:50The attack claimed 15 lives before officers killed one suspect at the scene.

01:58In response, Albanese announced a review of Australia's police and national intelligence

02:04agencies.

02:06He acknowledged that the threat environment has changed, saying security agencies must be

02:12better positioned to respond to extremist violence in the future.

02:18The government has also pledged tighter gun laws, while New South Wales leaders push tougher

02:23hate speech legislation.

02:27The surviving suspect, Naveed Akram, is charged with 59 offenses, including 15 counts of murder

02:34and committing a terrorist act.

02:37His father, the second gunman, was killed during the attack.

02:44Across Australia, shock still lingers, but so does resilience.

02:50This weekend, surfers, runners and families returned to Bondi Beach.

02:55Children's surf programs resumed, offering a sign of healing.

02:59Yet the boos heard at the memorial show a nation still searching for answers and accountability

03:06after a tragedy that shattered its sense of safety.
