Cairns Tragedy

The news out of Cairns is heartbreaking.

All parents would feel a gut-wrenching sadness at what has happened.

This is an unspeakable crime.

These are trying days for our country.

Tonight, there will be tears and prayers across our country for these children.

My thoughts are with the Queensland Police and all who have to respond to this terrible situation.
