"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.

‘Just take the gun from him’: Bondi hero Ahmed al Ahmed gives first interview since attack​

The hero of the Bondi terror attack has revealed what he told one of the killers after snatching his rifle off him in a powerful first interview.

In an interview with America’s CBS News aired on Monday morning, Mr al-Ahmed said he “didn’t worry about anything” except for the lives he could potentially save.

“My target was just to take the gun from him, and to stop him from killing a human being’s life and not killing innocent people,” he told the outlet.

“I know I saved lots, but I feel sorry for the lost.”

Government releases terms of reference for post-Bondi intelligence probe​

The Albanese government has revealed what a probe into intelligence and law enforcement services will cover.

“Mr Richardson will assess whether Commonwealth agencies performed to maximum effectiveness,” he said.

“He will consider what these agencies knew about the alleged offenders before the attack, the information sharing between Commonwealth agencies and between Commonwealth and state agencies, what judgments were made and actions taken by agencies, whether there were any additional measures the Commonwealth agencies could have taken to prevent the terrorist attack, whether Commonwealth agencies were prevented from taking prohibitive actions by the current legislative framework and authorising environment, what additional measures should be taken by relevant Commonwealth agencies to prevent similar attacks occurring in the future including whether they have adequate legislative powers, systems, processes and procedures including in regards to information sharing, whether warrant and data access regimes and powers are adequate, and whether any legislative amendments are required.”

He said the report would be ready by April.

Mr Albanese has resisted mounting calls for a Commonwealth royal commission, saying it would take too long.

Crookwell is about 200kms from Bonnyrigg, it's down near Goulburn ( about 45kms inland from Goulburn Supermax Correctional Centre - where NA will eventually spend the rest of his life IMO )

Do you know how many unsuitable people have had their firearms license restored? I don't, but I bet it has been an issue - for this law to have been enacted.
Seeing that judges have let dangerous people out of prison - as previously linked in this thread - it wouldn't surprise me to learn that dangerous people have had firearms licenses restored in the past.


The firearms registry, run by the NSW Police Force, can revoke a licence if the holder is found to no longer be a "fit and proper person" — an ongoing test which involves checks on character, honesty, lawfulness, mental health, and history of domestic violence or other concerning police interactions.

Also .... when people had their firearms licences renewed — which will now be every two years following the bill's passage — it included additional checks to ensure that people's mental health is not an adverse factor or one that would negatively impact public safety.

Capped numbers, shorter licences: How gun laws are set to change in NSW

NSW parliament has passed new firearms legislation in the wake of the Bondi Beach terror attack.

But you are assuming that all revocations are proper and based upon proper evidence. What harm is there in allowing the revocation to be reviewed by a court?
