SYDNEY, Dec. 24 (Xinhua) -- Australia's Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said he had asked the governor-general to institute a special honors list for first responders and other heroes from the Bondi fatal mass shooting, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation reported on Wednesday.
Albanese said that the recipients, who would be announced in 2026, would include police, medical staff, and members of the community who rushed to help in the wake of the terror attack.
He said that those who had risked their own safety to help strangers deserved public recognition.
The mass shooting, which targeted an event celebrating the first day of the Jewish festival of Hanukkah, killed 15 victims on Dec. 14.
