“Our thoughts are with the families who were gathering inside for Shabbat at the time and for the broader Jewish community who are understandably distressed at such a horrific act of violence. “There is no place for anti-semitism and violence against Jewish people in Australia. “Everyone should be able to feel safe in their places of worship and community gatherings and attacks like this cannot be tolerated.

“Hate has no place in our communities and hurts us all.” Facebook for the Australian Greens YouTube for the Australian Greens X for the Australian Greens Instagram for the Australian Greens Bluesky for the Australian Greens Privacy Members website Your safety Contact us Our plan Tax the 1% Tackle the cost of living Healthcare for all Fix the housing crisis Strong climate action In your language 2025 policy platform Policy principles & aims Our team Federal MPs State/territory MPs Officeholders Federal portfolios Federal media releases Take action Volunteer Donate Issues & campaigns Upcoming events Greens Shop Leave a bequest Green Magazine All news Our movement About the Greens Become a member Jobs Members website State/territory parties Contact us The Greens acknowledge the Traditional Owners of country throughout Australia and recognise their continuing connection to land, waters and culture.
