Multiple outlets report that NSW Police did not perform a risk assessment in response to a request for increased security at a Chanukah event at Bondi Beach before a terror attack. The reports say a Jewish security group sought a greater police presence at the festival, but NSW Police declined the request. The coverage also notes that the failure to carry out a risk assessment was raised in disclosures about how the request was handled. While the articles focus on the police response to the specific security request, they describe the core point consistently: the group’s request for additional presence was turned down and no corresponding risk assessment was carried out for the event. The reporting ties the issue to broader questions about policing and preparedness around security for public religious and community events. All three sources present the same allegation regarding NSW Police conduct and the handling of the request, without attributing alternative explanations or outcomes in their summaries.
