Opposition leader Sussan Ley has expressed her grief and shock" after the Manchester synagogue attack. She said in a statement this morning:

Our thoughts are with the families of those who have been killed and injured in this cowardly, evil attack.

The threat of terrorism requires continual vigilance and courage from our police and first responders. To target worshippers and families as they gather together for the holiest period of the Jewish faith is despicable beyond words. All people, regardless of religion have the right to worship in peace and should feel they can do so without fear or apprehension.
