“This attack, that is clearly racially motivated, just breaks your heart.We are a better country than that and my heart goes out to the family and the friends.” Prime Minister Anthony Albanese.
Cassius Turvey’s mother Mechelle has thanked those that gathered for their “love and support” through this difficult time… and called for peace saying she is angry but ‘violence breeds violence’.
