Last week I visited BAPS Swaminarayan Sanstha temple at Rosehill with the local Hindu community and local councillors Reena Jethi and Barbara Ward and was deeply saddened by the vandalism on the temple walls.

The BAPS temple was again a target for a second time and these acts of hatred against places of worship are unacceptable.
Everyone across Australia has the right to practice their faith in peace.
