Thousands of people have gathered for a sombre candlelight vigil to remember the six lives lost and those injured in the Westfield Bondi Junction stabbing.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, Opposition Leader Peter Dutton, NSW Premier Chris Minns and host of dignitaries joined members of the community at Bondi Beach just over a week after the tragedy.
NSW Police Inspector Amy Scott, who shot the killer and saved lives, was in the crowd.

Yixuan Cheng, Pikria Darchia, Faraz Tahir, Dawn Singleton, Jade Young and Ashlee Good were killed at the popular shopping centre in Sydney's east last Saturday.
The incident also left a dozen people injured, five of whom remain in hospital in a stable condition.
Good's nine-month-old daughter, who was also injured in the attack, has been released from hospital and taken home, NSW Health minister Ryan Park confirmed this afternoon.
"She continues to receive care from the expert clinicians at Sydney Children's Hospital," Park said in a statement.
"At the request of the family, I strongly urge the media and community to respect their right to privacy at this extremely difficult time."
Many had arrived early at Bondi Beach this afternoon ahead of the vigil.
"It's a little bit confronting in a way but it brings everyone closer together and communities can lean on one another," one woman at the vigil said.
"We all need to come together and keep living, we can't allow things like this to divide us," one man said.
Friends of murdered security guard, Faraz Tahir, from the Ahmadiyya Muslim Youth Association (AMYA) joined the large crowd.
"None of those people were there to meet this fate," AMYA national president Adnan Qadir said.
"The reason why all the Faraz friends are here is to show solidarity for everyone and to let the broader community know that we are all together and united in this difficult times."
