Australian police are making plans to form a heavily armed rapid response team in the aftermath of the Bondi Beach shooting, according to reports of evidence heard at an Australian government inquiry. The inquiry hears that a state police force has been working to establish such a unit since the attack, which prompted a broader review of policing and public safety measures. The sources describe the initiative as focused on creating a dedicated team equipped to respond quickly and with heightened firepower in serious incidents. The reporting does not outline specific operational details such as the team’s size, deployment procedures, or exact weapon systems, and it does not indicate whether the proposal has received final approval. Instead, the coverage emphasizes that the issue is under consideration through the inquiry process and that work on the rapid response capability began after the Bondi Beach shooting. The government inquiry context suggests authorities are examining decision-making and preparedness steps taken following the incident.
