Shocked and disheartened by what has unfolded over recent days. What we are seeing is fuelled by misunderstanding and fear leading to hatred, racism & Islamophobia. Thinking of all those who are scared at this time. Feeling helpless but I do know hope wins over hate. #NotInMyName

What a photo! Love wins every time. We are a people who know the truth & legacy of inflicting pain & hurt on our own place and communities. If nothing else was gained, the majority of us have zero desire to live in any way but peacefully with all our neighbours. #NoPlaceForHate
