The families of six people murdered during a stabbing attack in a Bondi Junction shopping centre a year ago want a fast inquest into their deaths but do not speak with one voice", a Sydney court has heard.

Forty-year-old Joel Cauchi killed Ashlee Good, 38, Jade Young, 47, Yixuan Cheng, Pikria Darchia, 55, Dawn Singleton, 25, and Faraz Tahrir, 30, and injured a further 10 people at Westfield Bondi Junction on 13 April before he was shot and killed by police inspector Amy Scott.
