O ananafi Aso 22 o Ianuari, na fa’amanatuina ai le Aso Fa’avauvau o le Atunu’u - le National Day of Mourning - mo tagata e to'a 15 na maliliu i le osofa'iga terorisi i le Aso 14 o le masina na te'a nei i Bondi Beach.


Na saunoa le palemia Anthony Albanese, o se avanoa e tutū fa’atasi ai tagata uma i le atunuu ma tagata Iutaia:

"It is a solemn opportunity for every Australian to stand with the Jewish community and remember the 15 lives stolen in this deadly attack."

O le taimi muamua lenei ua faia ai se National Day of Mourning, se Aso Fa’avauvau o le Atunu'u talu mai le 2022 ina ua tu’ua le mālō e le Tupu Tama’ita’i o Peretania, Elisapeta II.

O le theme, le manatu ‘autū o le Aso Fa’avauvau, na filifilia e le fa’alapotopotoga a tagata Iutaia i Bondi le Chabad: 'Light will win, a gathering of unity and remembrance.'

 I le po anapo, na faia ai se sauniga i le Sydney Opera House na fa’asalalauina sa'o i le live stream.

Na fa’alele i le 'afa fu'a i fale o le mālō, ma na molimauina le felanulanua'i o molī i nisi o nofoaga lauiloa i Ausetalia nei, e pei o le MCG in Melbourne, Story Bridge i Brisbane, Adelaide Town Hall ma le Optus Stadium i Perth.

E le gata i lea, o se sauniga faapitoa i le Bondi Pavilion i Bondi Beach lea na tupu ai le osofa'iga.

Na saunoa le palemia i le tāua o se minute filemū e manatunatu ai i soifua na maumau ona o le osofa'iga terorisi:

"This will be an opportunity to just take that minute to really think about what's happened and to pay respects., And I invite all Australians to participate in observing that minute of silence."

Na saunoa Rabbi Mendel Kastel - le fa’atonu o le Jewish House - ma ia manatua ai se tasi o ona uso ositaulaga, Rabbi Eli Schlanger na fasiotia i le osofa'iga terorisi:

"If we go and we light the candles, we light the world, we light Australia, we bring back the values we hold so tight. And like Channukah, one light is not enough. Once we light one, we're gonna light another one and another one and continue to grow. So let's hope together we can light up this country and bring back the sense of mateship, the sense of friendship and care that we love so much about this country."
