We are deeply saddened by the events at Bondi Beach on Sunday.
This was a targeted terrorist attack on the Jewish community during the celebration of Chanukah.
This attack has been widely felt not only as an assault on a specific community, but as an attack on the fundamental values that underpin Australian life - tolerance, safety and respect for one another.
Hearts & Minds has longstanding and deep connections with the Jewish community via local and international donors, speakers, volunteers and the Sohn Conference Foundation.
We stand firmly in support of the Jewish community and the broader Australian community that has long supported us. In recent days, we have been humbled and heartened by the outpouring of support in and among the Hearts & Minds community itself. Thank you for looking out for each other.
We also express our sincere gratitude to the police, first responders, medical teams and local heroes whose courage, professionalism and care helped save lives under the most challenging circumstances.
Our thoughts are with all those affected.


“The Mooch”, as he’s affectionately known, is a man in high demand. He’s flown into Sydney to headline the Sohn Hearts & Minds conference at the Opera House, an investment community jamboree that raises money for charity. He landed in London the night before, and will leave Sydney the next day for the brutal 24-hour return to New York.


Australian investors should be more worried about China than sweating on Federal Reserve independence and other market obsessions to do with Donald Trump, says billionaire conservative Baron Michael Hintze.


Beyond Wall Street, The Mooch is better known for his cutting takes on US politics in the popular podcast The Rest is Politics: US, which he hosts with BBC’s long-term North American correspondent Katty Kay.
