Australian PM vows ‘full force of law’ after arson attack at synagogue
Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison has promised to deploy the “full force of the law” following an arson attack at a synagogue in Brisbane. The incident occurred last night, with local authorities confirming that the perpetrator set fire to the synagogue’s entrance, causing significant damage to the building before fleeing the scene.
The Jewish community in Brisbane has expressed shock and outrage at the attack, with community leaders condemning it as a heinous act of hate. They have called for increased security measures to protect religious institutions in the area and ensure the safety of worshippers.
PM Morrison condemned the attack as “unAustralian” and vowed to find those responsible and bring them to justice. He stated, “This type of hateful behaviour has no place in our society, and we will not tolerate any form of violence or discrimination against any community.”
Authorities are currently investigating the incident, reviewing CCTV footage, and speaking to witnesses in an effort to identify the perpetrator. Police have increased patrols around religious institutions in the area to prevent any further attacks and provide reassurance to the community.
The motive behind the arson attack remains unclear at this stage, with investigators exploring all possibilities, including potential hate crime motivations. The local community has come together in solidarity, offering support to the affected synagogue and its members during this difficult time.
The Prime Minister’s strong stance against such acts of violence reflects the government’s commitment to upholding the rule of law and ensuring the safety and security of all religious communities in Australia.
