In an emotional inquiry into the Bondi shopping centre stabbing on April 13, it was revealed that Joel Cauchi, armed with a knife, fatally attacked six people and injured ten others in just three minutes. The majority of the victims were women, prompting discussions on gendered violence in Australia. Testimonies highlighted failures in mental health care, as Cauchi, diagnosed with schizophrenia and off his medication since 2019, had previously raised concerns with authorities. No alarm activated during the attack, raising questions about security protocols, as the inquiry prepares for a more extensive investigation set to begin in April 2025.
