“We are pleased we can use cricket’s vast reach to publicly recognise these wonderful organisations and heroic individuals at the SCG, as we stood with the Jewish community in Adelaide,” Greenberg said in a statement.
“Our thoughts remain with those effected by this devastating tragedy and as a sport we will continue to provide what support we can.”
“Many people may not be used to seeing police carrying rifles at sporting events, but our objective here is to help the public feel safe, and police will be out in force,” Lanyon said.
“The difference will be in the visibility of long arms and a stronger presence. Police will otherwise be targeting antisocial and unsafe behaviour as usual,” he said.
Public Order and Riot Squad officers will also be present, equipped with visible long-arm rifles.
