Statement of Condolence and Solidarity
We are deeply saddened by the tragic events in Bondi and the loss of innocent lives. On behalf of The Association of Hazaras in Victoria, we extend our heartfelt condolences to the families who are grieving, and we wish strength and healing to all those who have been injured.
As a community that has found safety and belonging in Australia in recent decades, we feel this tragedy deeply. Many of our members know the lasting impact that violence has on families and communities, which makes moments like this especially painful and confronting.
We stand in solidarity with the wider Australian community during this time of sorrow. We thank the first responders, health workers, and everyday people who acted with courage and compassion, and we reaffirm our shared commitment to peace, care, and looking after one another.
Our thoughts are with everyone affected by this heartbreaking incident.
