The baby girl was harmed in the heartbreaking Sydney shopping centre attack
The baby girl injured in Saturday’s attack in a Sydney mall has been taken out of intensive care.
The BBC report that the nine-month-old daughter of Ashlee Good, who died while protecting her daughter, is in a serious but stable condition.
In other news, the Frenchman, dubbed Bollard Man after his heroic efforts confronting the Sydney attacker with a bollard, has been offered permanent Australian residency.
Bollard Man, whose real name is Damien Guerot, was granted residency by Prime Minister Anthony Albanese who said that he had the right to remain in Australia as long as he pleased.
More specifically, Albanese said: “I say this to Damien Guerot, who is dealing with his visa applications, that you are welcome here. You are welcome to stay for as long as you like.
“This is someone who we would welcome becoming an Australian citizen, although that would of course be a loss for France.”

Albanese continued: “I think that on Saturday we saw some of the best of human character at the same time as we saw such devastating tragedy and I thank Damien for his extraordinary efforts.”
Speaking about his heroic efforts, Guerot himself recalled: “We saw him [Joel Cauchi] going down so we followed him from the top. We tried to maybe throw the bollard to him but we couldn’t.
“We didn’t think. You cannot think in that moment. His eyes were like empty eyes. He wasn’t there.”
Six people were killed in the attack, five of whom were women.
A further eleven people were injured.
The perpetrator, who was later named as Joel Cauchi, was shot dead by a lone female police officer who fired upon him when he came towards her with a knife.
