Queensland’s Police Commissioner Katarina Carroll said that recent offences targeting members of the Asian-Australian community, and particularly the Chinese community range from verbal to physical assaults and robberies, while online attacks are also on the rise.
"This is abhorrent behaviour — we all need to respect each other. We are all Queenslanders and we are all Australians," Ms Carroll said.
Police Minister Mark Ryan also condemned the behaviour and called for unity urging people not to let this current crisis destroy their humanity.
