Inquiry Recommends Increased Policing For Jewish Events
A report recommends an urgent review of counterterrorism agencies in Australia. An inquiry has issued 14 total recommendations intended to ensure a specific type of incident never happens again. The BBC World Service confirmed there are 14 recommendations in total aimed at ensuring the event never happens again. An interim report from the Australian Royal Commission into anti-Semitism and social cohesion found a Jewish security group warned New South Wales Police of a high threat rating. The group sent a risk assessment ahead of the December 14 Hanukkah by the Sea event, warning a terror attack against the state's Jewish community was likely. New South Wales Police stated the Eastern Suburbs Command received no specific request for dedicated police resources, despite acknowledging a request for a police presence.
