The labelling of the stabbing at a church in Wakeley as a terrorist incident has left the local community on edge, federal independent MP for the southwestern Sydney are Dai Le says.
Following the alleged stabbing of a bishop in a western Sydney church, local MP Dai Le has issued an urgent plea to all authorities.
NSW police quickly declared the incident as a terrorist attack motivated by suspected religious extremism. Speaking on Sunday, the Fowler MP said while she was satisfied with the response of law enforcement agencies, she called for them to reassure the community that they are safe following the incident.“Living in a very multifaith, multicultural electorate like mine, it’s so sensitive and is a very difficult conversation that we must have and I need to have with my community.
“When we talk about a terror act, we just need to be aware of how that language lands in a community like Fowler and in other areas where multi faith and multicultural communities are living side-by-side,” she said.
