SINGAPORE - Remarks by a far-right Australian senator after the Christchurch terror attack were"sickening" and Islamophobic, said Home Affairs and Law Minister K. Shanmugam.
"The senator's statement is sickening. It is completely unacceptable. And he issued it when people are grieving," he said, adding that"our prayers are with the victims and their families". In a statement released just hours after the attack, Mr Anning condemned the gunman but said that"usually are the perpetrators".
Australian politicians have denounced his remarks. Prime Minister Scott Morrison said that the remarks were"disgusting". "By spreading hatred and turning Australians against each other he is doing exactly what the terrorists want," he said on Twitter.
