NSW Premier Chris Minns vows to keep closed a Bankstown mosque found preaching racism and anti-Semitism, despite claims it’s temporary.
NSW Premier Chris Minns has vowed to keep the Al Madina Dawah Centre in Bankstown closed after a Federal Court ruled that preacher Wissam Haddad delivered racist and anti-Semitic sermons targeting the Jewish community since 2021.
The court found three 2023 lectures contained "devastatingly offensive" remarks based on race or ethnicity.
The building, never approved for religious use and recently reclassified for medical purposes, was found to be used without proper consent.
The Canterbury-Bankstown City Council issued immediate cease-use notices and warned of further enforcement.
The centre claims the closure is temporary, pending compliance with regulations.
Minns said any religious site hosting hate speech will be shut down, including through utility cutoffs, as part of broader efforts to combat extremism.
