At 11pm on New Year’s Eve, Sydney paused for a powerful minute’s silence for the victims of the Bondi terror attack.

The millions watching at home may have missed the image of a menorah being projected onto the bridge pylons. Dozens of people on social media have expressed their disappointment that the menorah was not shown on the ABC coverage, which was a co-production with the City of Sydney.
JWire has approached the ABC for comment.
