The ISIS-terrorist dad killed during the Bondi Beach massacre had transferred his family home into his wife’s name — seen as a “final insult” to the slain and injured that could stop their loved ones getting compensation.
Sajid Akram, 50, put the three-bedroom Sydney property under the sole name of his wife, Venera Akram, in February last year, Australia’s Daily Telegraph reported.

Australia is poised to overhaul its gun laws in the wake of the terror attack on Jewish festivalgoers at Bondi Beach in Sydney.
Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese on Monday tabled changes to national laws at a meeting of the National Cabinet, a roundtable of the nation’s federal, state and territory leaders.
They includes bringing into effect a national firearms register, which is anticipated would allow information sharing on gun owners across state borders.
There was an air of inevitability as news spread of the massacre at the Hanukkah event on Bondi Beach yesterday. A friend in Sydney told me that almost everyone had been expecting something like this. Counter-terrorism analysts I spoke to yesterday and local media coverage said the same thing.
There is little mystery about the motive here. Sajid and Naveed Akram, the father and son who killed 15 people — including a Holocaust survivor, two rabbis, and a ten-year-old girl — had pledged allegiance to the Islamic State (Isis), according to Australian security sources. Naveed, in particular, had been investigated six years ago due to his ties to an Isis cell.
Barbarism has come to Bondi. Waking up to news this morning that at least 16 people have been killed, and at least 29 have been injured, following an anti-Semitic terror attack at the iconic beach in Australia, prompted that familiar mix of sickness, horror and grim inevitability.
As it stands, we know there were at least two (alleged) gunmen. One, Naveed Akram, was killed at the scene. The other, whose identity hasn’t been released, is in critical condition. The scum opened fire with rifles at a Hanukkah party. The authorities are thus treating it as an anti-Semitic terror attack, although it took some media outlets an oddly long time to put two and two together. Police are probing reports of a third attacker, and have found an improvised explosive device in a car.

The hero who disarmed one of the Bondi Beach attackers by grabbing his gun is a father-of-two fruit shop owner.
The death toll has risen to 16 after two gunmen opened fire at the popular tourist beach in Sydney on Sunday evening where a Jewish Hanukkah celebration was underway.
Ahmed al Ahmed, 43, has been named by relatives as the man fighting one of the terrorists in a video shared widely on social media.

He may be a Maronite Christian and not a Muslim.
He is a Christian Maronite!
The hero that stopped one of the terrorists in Australia is called Ahmad Al Ahmad.
The Anti-Israel mobs celebrated him being a Muslim, as if that made the terror attack less terrible.

Australia died tonight.
An obscene number of people were shot down in cold blood celebrating a Jewish holiday on the iconic and wonderful Bondi Beach. Murdered, most likely, by religious fanatics. Murdered, possibly, by people who came, or whose parents came, to this country and imported a toxic, deadly, and poisonous ideology.
Nobody thought to stop them entering this country. Nobody thought to question their fitness to be new Australian citizens.

The two gunmen who opened fire on Australia’s Bondi Beach where thousands of Jews were celebrating Hanukkah are believed to be a father-son duo who had a trove of legally-owned guns.
Naveed Akram, 24, and his 50-year-old accomplice are believed to be father and son, authorities said on Monday.
Telegraph Live Feed – Bondi Beach shooting death toll rises to 16
Twelve people, including children, are dead after two gunmen armed with rifles opened fire at Bondi Beach on Sunday afternoon, in an act of terrorism targeting a Jewish holiday celebration.
Witnesses said two men stepped out of a vehicle on Campbell Parade, near Bondi Pavilion, and opened fire about 6.40pm on Sunday with footage showing blast after blast on the tourist strip. Some witnesses report more than 30 shots.
Video and photos taken by a Daily Mail photographer show a gunman, later identified as Naveed Akram, 24, from Bonnyrigg in Sydney’s southwest, opening fire from an elevated bridge.

An urgent safety alert has been issued at wind farms across Australia after asbestos was discovered in Chinese-made wind turbines.
The deadly material was first found in brake pads used in wind turbine tower lifts at the Goldwind Cattle Hill wind farm in central Tasmania.
WorkSafe Victoria and SafeWork NSW confirmed on Friday that white asbestos was also found at a number of wind farm sites.

Pauline Hanson, the leader of Australia’s hard-right One Nation party, prompted an uproar in parliament after wearing a burqa into the chamber.
Hanson, 71, whose party supports widespread cuts to migration and a nationwide ban on the burqa, was suspended after members of parliament’s upper chamber expressed outrage at her actions.
Islam isn’t a race, it is a cult.
In accordance with a policy of purported social cohesion and ostensibly to prevent “Islamophobia,” Australia’s Labor Party government, primarily represented by Foreign Minister Penny Wong, Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke, and Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, perturbingly appear to be minimizing the malignant, often violent Jew-hatred now occurring in the major cities of Australia.
While many acts of terror are being perpetrated against the Jewish community (here and here), the Australian government has been fast-tracking hundreds of potentially dangerous Palestinians into the country as refugees without proper vetting.
Australia’s most popular radio host, 2GB’s Ben Fordham, told his listeners last week that more than 1,544 migrants were arriving in the country every day. ‘That is the equivalent of five, fully-loaded Boeing 787 Dreamliners. Day after day, week after week’, he said dramatically. Fordham’s depiction may have been hyperbolic. But he expressed a widely felt grievance in Australia. Immigration has increased significantly recently, and no voter has been asked if they wanted this or not.

Thousands of Australians have turned out for anti-immigration rallies across the country that were condemned by the government as having far-right links and “spreading hate”.
March for Australia rallies took place in Sydney, Melbourne and other major cities – with several clashes taking place as marchers were met with counter-demonstrations.
A number of opposition politicians joined the marches, including One Nation senator Pauline Hanson and federal MP Bob Katter.

One Nation leader Pauline Hanson has decried the Supreme Court’s decision to allow a pro-Palestine protest on the Sydney Harbour Bridge to take place on Sunday and warned an “influx” of Islamic fundamentalism was transforming Australia.
Police estimated 90,000 demonstrators took part in the “March for Humanity” through the heart of Sydney, chanting: “Free, free Palestine” and: “In our thousands in our millions, we are all Palestinians”, among other slogans calling for sanctions on Israel and an end to the war in Gaza.
Tens of thousands turn out for Sydney pro-Palestinian march
A planned pro-Palestinian protest across the Sydney Harbour Bridge has gone ahead after it was authorised by the Supreme Court just one day prior, in what organisers called a “historic” decision.
Tens of thousands turned out for the March for Humanity on Sunday despite torrential rain – with many carrying placards with messages to politicians to stop the war.
WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange was spotted among the protesters, with other notable attendees including federal MP Ed Husic and former NSW Premier Bob Carr.

It shows that gun control never stops at “assault weapons.”
Last week, the Australian state government of Victoria banned the sale of large knives after a violent gang fight in a Melbourne shopping mall. The brawl consisted of seven men wildly swinging machetes at each other. Since the event, all seven men have been arrested and charged.
Those arrested were all “known gang members and known to police,” according to a Victoria Police statement. Six of the seven were allegedly out on bail at the time.
