On 18 October 2006 the Hon. Dr Peter Wong asked the Minister for Industrial Relations, representing the Premier, a question without notice regarding the Maroubra assaults. The Minister for Police provided the following response:
NSW Police has advised me:
This incident was responded to promptly and comprehensively by police. In addition to the immediate management of the victims' welfare, investigating police obtained statements from all victims and witnesses. Forensic and identification procedures were conducted, CCTV footage obtained and all available sources of information considered. Investigations are continuing.
Eastern Beaches Local Area Command (LAC) is a member of the Premier's Crime Prevention Partnership, a multi-agency collaborative arrangement aimed at the reduction of the incidence of non-domestic assaults, including alcohol related and racially motivated attacks. A number of local proactive policing strategies are linked to this initiative, including high visibility policing operations such as Vikings, Prevent and Cleansweep which run frequently within the LAC.
These operations are in addition to the daily intelligence driven rostering and deployment of police in crime hotspots. Eastern Beaches LAC also has a substantial commitment to Operation Beachsafe, which commenced on 22 October 2006 and runs throughout the summer months with a focus on high visibility policing operations.
