Media Release 25 August 2017

OUR THOUGHTS ARE WITH THE AUSTRALIAN NATIONAL UNIVERSITY

Our thoughts are with staff and students of the Australian National University following this morning’s attack.

We join the ANU to commend those who secured the safety of others in those moments, and the ANU security staff and the police officers who attended so swiftly.

The actions of those who responded to this incident exemplify the care and concern for others that Australia’s universities seek to foster and promote.

We note that police are urging anyone who may have any information that could assist their investigation to contact ACT Policing on 131-444.
