Yesterday's Australia stabber... is Australian. Internet racists yesterday "religion of peace, DEI, diversity..."

Australian having mental breakdown.

immediate assumption yesterday from the racists... was that it was a Middle Easterner, POC, immigrant. I wonder if they are deleting their comments.

Queensland man Joel Cauchi, 40, has been named as the man who went on a stabbing spree at Bondi Junction Westfield, killing six people and injuring at least a dozen more before police shot him dead.

Five women and one man were killed in the deadly rampage at the busy shopping centre in Sydney’s east about 3pm on Saturday afternoon. The dead include Dawn Singleton, 25, who is the daughter of prominent Australian businessman John Singleton and his ex-wife Julie Martin, and 38-year-old mother Ash Good, whose 9-month-old daughter was injured in the attack.


Assistant Commissioner Anthony Cooke said on Sunday police had spoken to relatives of Cauchi, who had recently moved to NSW from the Brisbane area and was known to Queensland police.

He said Cauchi had rented a storage facility in inner Sydney. Cooke reiterated the attack was not terror-related.
