The Islamic council of Victoria has refused to condemn the actions of a man who was fatally shot after stabbing two anti-terrorism police, and has hit out at authorities for pre-empting the outcome of investigations into the tragedy.
Council secretary Ghaith Krayem has also criticised the government for adopting an "enforcement" approach to managing the threat of home-grown terrorism, describing underlying issues as social, rather than religious and in need of greater scrutiny.

"There needs to be no hint whatsoever that anything other than the complete truth about the events of yesterday are what comes out," Mr Krayem said, after branding police comments made immediately after the tragedy as "disappointing".
