“It’s a terrible situation for everyone,” Moore told 2GB’s Ben Fordham.
“Not only the family and police, but the broader community…it’s not what you’d expect to be dealing with on a Monday morning, but the response was quite incredible, and we’re very, very thankful that the injuries aren’t life-threatening to these children.”
Police have established a crime scene at the Jamieson Avenue home, with investigations into the incident ongoing.
A framed print bearing the words “This is my happy place” could be seen hanging in the home’s hallway as forensics officers combed the property.
A neighbour, who asked to remain anonymous, said the children and their mother were a quiet, nice family who kept to themselves.
The Hills Shire Council Mayor Michelle Byrne said the incident was “devastating” for the local community.
“They’re already reeling,” she said.
“As a mum and a mayor, my heart breaks for those children.”
