        I watched the press release the ABC posted, and the police said that 5 were dead “as a result of his actions”, so I’d take that to mean their tally excluded him

          Yes I should have said ‘Five killed by the attacker’. I was watching the police presser when you posted this which is where I got the figure from.

            @maniacalmanicmania @Baku “As a result of his actions” is worded in a deliberately vague way. It could mean one of two things.

            Either they’re saying all five people (including the attacker, who was shot by a police officer) are dead because of the attacker’s actions.

            Or they’re saying he stabbed five people.

    Good on all those stores and staff that helped protect people, hide them and keep them safe.

    Sadly, now they’re going to be closed while the investigation goes on. Hope they get some support.

      Bondi junction is mainly chain shops. It wasn’t owners helping, I’d imagine, but the people working there. Good on them is right. It must have been terrifying. I know that it’s almost designed to be hard to leave, there, which won’t have helped.

    It’s kinda weird none of the news are mentioning what the jersey is that he’s wearing.

    The most description I’ve heard is he had a green and gold shirt

    Also was he going full kit wanker?
