The raids are part of the investigation into the alleged stabbing attack at a Wakeley church by a 16-year-old boy.
Counter-terrorism police have searched multiple addresses in Sydney on Wednesday after the stabbing of a religious leader in a Wakeley church last week.
The alleged stabbing was quickly labelled a terrorist attack by NSW Police Commissioner Karen Webb, and the teenager was charged with a Commonwealth terrorism offence. Both Kershaw and ASIO Director-General Mike Burgess were addressing the National Press Club as news of the raids broke on Wednesday afternoon.“ASIO is a part of the joint counter-terrorism in every state and territory … my officers are connected and involved and embedded inside the joint counter-terrorism team,” Burgess said.
