Australia's prime minister helps French worker who intervened during mall stabbing attack renew his visa

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese made a statement on Tuesday saying the French construction who confronted the man who stabbed six people at a Sydney shopping mall is "welcome to stay in the country."

Guerot’s temporary Australian work visa was due to expire in July until the prime minister intervened.

"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," Prime Minister Anthony Albanese told reporters Tuesday.
