News24 host Sharri Markson says the Bondi Beach massacre shows us where “hatred without consequences leads”. “It shows us that Australians are basically good and decent and fair-minded but are susceptible to distraction, to missing the signs, to acting too late, to taking things for granted,” Ms Markson said. “It shows us that the cost of failing is so great that it is measured in body bags and lost worlds, and each of us has a duty to ensure that this never happens again.”
