Anthony Albanese has pleaded for unity after a terrorist attack at a western Sydney church where a bishop and a priest were stabbed, and a subsequent riot in which police officers were attacked.
The prime minister held a joint press conference with police and security chiefs in Canberra on Tuesday morning, hours after New South Wales declared as a terrorist attack the stabbing of Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel at a service at the Assyrian Christ the Good Shepherd church in Wakeley just after 7pm on Monday.
