The attack at the Christ The Good Shepherd Church has been declared a terrorist act.
My thoughts and prayers remain with the victims of this attack, and with the police and paramedics who responded and exercised their duties under extremely difficult conditions.
The response by some members of the community was unacceptable. The scenes we saw last night have no place in NSW.
I join with the Premier and faith leaders in calling for calm.
NSW is one of the greatest testaments to multiculturalism. Our rich and diverse communities enhance and strengthen our state.
In these difficult times, we must come together to support one another.
It is important that people receive their information from official sources and don’t contribute to speculation and misinformation through social media.
