Greens Leader Kim Booth MP today extended the Party’s heartfelt sympathy to all those affected by the incredible and awful Sydney hostage situation which ended so tragically this morning.

“Words hardly seem sufficient at times like these, when people are trying to deal with such a horrific day and tragic outcome. The shock is overwhelming.”

“We extend our deepest sympathies and thoughts to the victims, their families, friends and colleagues, police and emergency service personnel, and all others affected by this shocking and devastating event.”

“Now more than ever we all need to come together, and offer comfort and support. Keeping a clear focus on the safe, peaceful and tolerant community we all want will be crucial for the nation to move forward.”

“Australians know how to dig deep to keep going at times of unimaginable bleakness and horror, and our thoughts are with all Sydney-siders, and residents of NSW as they embark on that journey now.”
