In the wake of the suspected terror attack in Manchester, England, The Project hosts have grappled with the disastrous loss of 22 lives.
“It’s hard to watch, isn’t it?” guest panellist Amanda Keller said of the suicide bombing, which took place at the conclusion of pop star Ariana Grande’s concert on Monday night.
“It seems particularly cruel to target young girls at a concert, many of them probably their first concert. They’re with their mums. Heartbreaking. I know we’ll soon see the faces of these people and it will be heartbreaking.”
Mother-of-two Carrie Bickmore struggled to comprehend what this event might mean for the thousands more who watched on.
“For those young people that have survived, they’re going to be scarred by that,” she said. “That is the fear they’ll now live with. [To be attending] something so fun and [for this to happen]…”

The term 'terror attacks' seem to have so much power. But like changing 'king hit' to 'coward's punch' has made us Aussies change how we see and have these incidents reported, perhaps we can start a new trend. This was an act of cowardice, they want us to feel fear. Change the name - terrorist - coward. Terrorist attack - coward attack. Give them no more power! They attacked little girls at a pop concert, trying to get home to their families. Can't get anymore cowardly than that!
The act is cowardly and disgusting, but it takes backbone to blow yourself up for some inane cause.
