Jewish security group warned NSW Police of Bondi attack threat, Premier says
Premier Chris Minns has confirmed a Jewish security group warned NSW Police of heightened anti-Semitic threats almost three weeks before the Bondi terrorist attack
"NSW Police will be out in massive numbers, in some cases carrying weapons and firearms you haven't seen before," he said.
He later elaborated that officers would be carrying longarms, which is atypical for NSW Police.
He also said the state was "in discussions" about whether the military could become involved in general security operations.
Plans to shut down prayer halls
Community prayer halls could be shut down under new legislation being prepared by the state government, if they are found to give a podium to "hate preachers".
"No organisation that preaches hate should have access to any government money under any circumstances," Minns said.
He said the government could even cut off such buildings from power and water as part of a shutdown.
“Families of the people killed in the Bondi terror attacks are pressuring the Prime Minister to “immediately” examine the failures that led to the massacre.
