In a series of events following the Bondi Junction stabbing incident, Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has offered permanent residency to Damien Guerot, a French national who demonstrated bravery by confronting the attacker, Joel Cauchi, with a bollard at an escalator in a Sydney mall. The incident also involved another French national, Silas Despreaux, and a Pakistani security guard, Muhammad Taha, who was injured during the attack. While the French nationals received immediate praise and offers of residency, there was initial uncertainty about Taha's status. However, after public outcry and discussions, Taha has also been offered a permanent visa. The actions of these individuals were recognized by both Australian and French leaders, with French President Emmanuel Macron commending the courage of his compatriots.
