NSW Gov
The Government is aware that a flyer containing hate speech inciting violence around Australia Day is currently circulating. This conduct targeting specific ethnic, religious and political groups is abhorrent.
Hatred and intimidation have no place in NSW. The NSW Police Force is investigating this matter and I hope they find the person responsible quickly and bring them to justice.
As the Premier said at the National Day of Mourning event last night, we must unabashedly take pride in the parts of Australian life that are intrinsically part of our character and our country - democracy, freedom, respect and equality. Should someone refuse these values, then Australia is not the country for you.
As we mark the Australia Day long weekend, I urge everyone to celebrate what unites us and to treat one another with respect and kindness, regardless of faith, ethnicity or background.
We will not allow hatred or violence to divide us. Across all cultures and faiths, we stand united.
We are stronger together.
