Southport MP Patrick Hurley says the whole town is in "shock and mourning" following the stabbing attack which left two children dead and nine others with critical injuries.
"It's a very small town, Southport, and so many people will be impacted firsthand.
They will know the families and they will know the children themselves," he said.
