The Australian Bridge Federation is deeply shocked and saddened by the terrorist attack at Bondi yesterday. Our thoughts are with the victims, their families, and all those affected by this horrific event.

We know that this tragedy has had a profound impact on many within the wider community. Our thoughts are particularly with the Jewish community, as well as with everyone in the Australian bridge community who may be feeling distressed or unsettled at this time.

The ABF stands firmly against all forms of violence, hatred, and intimidation. We remain committed to fostering an environment where every player feels safe, respected, and welcomed.

We encourage anyone who is feeling distressed to seek appropriate support through trusted personal networks or professional services.
