My thoughts are with those who have been affected by the incident in the Perth suburb of Willetton overnight.

I have spoken with WA Premier Roger Cook this morning, and I thank the WA Police for acting swiftly to contain the incident.

I have also received a briefing on the situation by the ASIO Director-General and the AFP Commissioner, and I'm advised there is no ongoing threat to the community on the information available.

We are a peace-loving nation and there is no place for violent extremism in Australia.
