The Australian Federation of Islamic Councils has released a statement, but it doesn't appear to be on their website at this time. It's reproduced on the Guardian live blog, to which I have linked several times.

A brave man tried to tackle the shooter but was shot just before he was able to grab ahold. Someone could've ran away while he distracted the gunman. Man died a hero.

Bill Shorten: “Do not watch the footage, that is what the bad people want us to do. This is not normal, do not make this violence normal. We must do everything we can to unite and prevent this happening again.”

A lot of our news reporters are having trouble holding it together...

In another thread here not long ago about the Baltimore synagogue terror attack, I took a poster on this forum to task for his (non-violent!) rhetoric about "white genocide" - which the synagogue attacker also believed in - explaining how true belief in such a concept must almost inevitably lead a believer to resort to armed resistance against the perceived perpetrators.
Now here again. The same BS about "intruders" and "our lands". I no longer consider this rhetoric non-violent, by definition. |

The only thing I was "going on" about was terrorist threats, which I take very seriously regardless of "ideaology." It's frightening you and the rest ISF don't

Apparently there just happened to be a massive AOS (Police Armed Offenders Squad) training excersize happening in ChCh, which is why there was such a huge response city wide.
Probably bad to describe this as "a good thing", but kind of handy |

The Authorities are holding off on giving us any fatality numbers. This can't be good.

This the top story on CNN, MSNBC, BBC, and FOX News websites!
When we make a splash Internationally..... Aussie PM is speaking on it and says that Australian Authorities will help however they can. |

Australian citizenship confirmed by ScoMo. Looks like we're officially involved, folks.

They cancelled all domestic flights out of Chch because there is no baggage screening.
Guessing they will probably add that now at all airports, which will be annoying |
