Victorian mosques have gone ahead with a planned open day, just two days after the attacks in Christchurch. More than twenty mosques have gone ahead with the annual day, which invites any visitor to enter a mosque.



Victorian premier Daniel Andrews and Chief Police Commissioner Graham Ashton have visited Victoria's second-oldest mosque, located in the suburb of Preston, nine kilometers north of Melbourne's Central Business District.
