Trump Jr Compares Djokovic’s 2022 Deportation With 2025 Bondi Beach Shooting
December 15, 2025
Donald Trump Jr recently shared a viral social media post comparing Novak Djokovic’s deportation from Australia in 2022 to the alleged gunman involved in the deadly Bondi Beach Hanukkah shooting in December 2025. The post shows pictures of Djokovic, who was removed from Australia after refusing Covid-19 vaccination, next to an armed suspect from the Bondi attack. Trump Jr’s caption highlighted inconsistencies in Australia’s border control.
Djokovic’s visa was cancelled by the Australian government on public health grounds during the pandemic, not for security reasons. This case highlighted Australia’s strict Covid-era border rules.
The Bondi Beach shooting happened during a Hanukkah event, causing multiple deaths and injuries. Australian police called it an antisemitic attack and have launched a major anti-terror investigation. The suspect was caught at the scene.
Discussions online focus on the fact that the Bondi suspect was reportedly on the domestic intelligence agency ASIO’s radar in 2019 for extremist links. Officials have not disclosed detailed intelligence due to legal limits but stated reviews are underway to check if monitoring rules were followed.
The attack has put Australia’s immigration screening and security checks under scrutiny. Some experts question how risk is assessed when previous intelligence warnings exist. The government says intelligence follows strict procedures and investigations are ongoing.
Australian authorities continue to probe the Bondi Beach shooting and are reviewing intelligence and security policies. Any findings may lead to changes in counter-terrorism, border control, and immigration rules.
