Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s approval rating has fallen in the wake of the Bondi terrorist attack.

3AW Federal Politics Editor, Michael Pachi told 3AW Afternoons, “At the start of that tragedy and for most of last week, I did think he looked like a deer in the headlights.”

Opposition Leader Sussan Ley has also faced criticism for her response, as Eddie Summerfield asked whether she ‘took it too far’ in a passionate rebuke of Penny Wong.
