This morning we grieve for the fifteen innocent people who have been robbed of their lives, and send our deepest condolences to their community and loved ones who have woken in mourning. We send love to the dozens of people who remain in care, and hope for their swift recovery. Australia is with each of you.
Our heart is with the Jewish community who are grappling with this mass shooting, grieving loved ones, and are again fearing for their safety. Antisemitism has no place in our community, and we join all Australians in rejecting this appalling act of hatred. This terror attack on the Jewish community is an attack on all of us.
This reprehensible act of antisemitic violence is not who we are. We are a nation of many peoples who open the door to those in need, and pull together in crisis. Our nation is the first responders who risked their lives to keep people safe, the heroic man who intervened to stop a gunman, and the many people from all faiths who came together to shelter others and open their arms to those grieving.
We will hold each other tightly in the coming days and weeks, and show care and compassion. The antisemitic hatred of these men will not divide us. - Senator Larissa Waters, Senator Mehreen Faruqi, Senator David Shoebridge, on behalf of all Australian Greens MPs 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.
