Question
Can the Minister advise what measures are in place to ensure the safety of the New South Wales Jewish community?
Answer
The NSW Government and NSW Police Force are committed to ensuring the safety of all communities in NSW. Our priority is to ensure that all members of the community feel safe and supported to freely go about their daily lives without the fear of violence or discrimination.
The NSW Police Force launched Operation Shelter on 11 October 2023 to respond to public safety in relation to the current conflict in the Middle East. Operation Shelter continues to engage with Jewish leaders and community as it does with all other affected communities.
