Confirmation No Australians Dead In Manchester

Attorney General George Brandis confirms that no Australians are among the dead or injured in the Manchester attack.

Brandis says "we can confirm that there were no Australian's among the dead, and so far as we are aware there are no Australians among those who are injured"

"At the moment there are, the estimate of the number injured has risen to 64, of whom 20 are in a critical condition at hospitals in Manchester, but Mr Downer advises me that we have now established that none of the deceased were Australian and we are reasonably confident that none of the injured persons is Australian either"
