‘Best of our country’: Australian PM visits Bondi hero in hospital
Australia’s Prime Minister has visited Bondi hero Ahmed al Ahmed in hospital, after the bystander tried to disarm one of the gunmen in the nation’s deadliest gun attack since 1996.
“Your heart is strong”, PM Anthony Albanese told the father-of-two, later calling him “the best of our country”.
The fruit shop owner, who was born and raised in Syria, was shot several times in the shoulder after tackling one of the alleged gunmen. Albanese said Mr Ahmed would “undergo further surgery” on Wednesday.

World News@lemmy.world•Canada cannot cozy up to China: "Exposure to a regime that jails dissidents, manipulates international institutions and spies on Canadian citizens is not diversification. It’s submission" - [Opinion]English
417·2 months agoThat’s an absurdly weird comment There is no such thing as a ‘fair trade’ with a dictatorship like China that engages in economic coercion, espionage on citizens, transnational repression, election interference, just to name a few examples. China is the exact opposite of the ‘social freedoms’ as you argue. You don’t seem to understand what’s going on in this country and the economy.

1·3 months agoThis is what India’s officials have been saying since July, but Indian imports of Russian crude dipped in the third quarter. I don’t say India should or shouldn’t buy, but what they say and what they doesn’t match if you look at the data.
