Anthony Albanese has paid tribute to the two police officers gunned down in what has been described as an ambush in Wieambilla on Monday.
“This is, indeed, a devastating day for everyone who loved these Australians. And our hearts go out to those in the grip of terrible grief,” he said.
“We know that this news has fallen hard on a close-knit and caring Queensland community.”
Constable Rachel McCrow, 29, and Constable Matthew Arnold, 26, died after coming under siege while responding to a call about a missing person on a property in the rural town.
More to come.
