00:00From the ample calls that I've been getting since about 6.30 in the morning,
00:04as a community leader, I can tell you that people are anxious, they're scared, they're frightened.
00:11You've got a message to the British people, you've got a message to the people of Newcastle.
00:15You're just a fool, you're an utter anti-Semite, you're a disgrace.
00:22What you have done is anti-Australian, it's un-Australian frankly.
00:30It's not what we do here as Victorians.
00:36And your ideology and your hate for the other is despicable.
00:41That what happened this morning to the Adas synagogue is totally and utterly unacceptable.
00:48It has no place in Australia and everybody should work with the police to help them
00:53make sure that they can get to the bottom of this.
00:55We must send a message as a country after the last year that actions like this have consequences,
01:01that people will not get away with this kind of behaviour.
01:05We believe it was deliberate, we believe it has been targeted.
01:09What we don't know is why and we'll get to the why.
01:12I'm here in the capacity as the Officer-in-Charge of the Arts and Spaces Squad
01:16to give that reassurance to the community that we will do everything we can
01:20to bring these individuals before the courts.
