Jewish residents already fear for their lives following an escalating series of antisemitic attacks across the city. Places of worship have been vandalised. A childcare centre near a Maroubra synagogue has been firebombed.

Chris Minns is two years away from an election, so he can ride out these bad times, but an angry, scared Sydney is a big risk for Anthony Albanese.

Multiple sites in Sydney's eastern suburbs have been vandalised in what has been labelled as an "appalling and shameful" attack by NSW Premier Chris Minns and "heartbreaking" by the education industry.

The Prime Minister, Attorney-General and national security committee were all “out of the loop” and left in the dark over the alleged anti-Semitic caravan bomb plot by the AFP for ten days before the investigation was sensationally leaked to the media.

NSW Police were contacted about the caravan, which had power gel explosives with the potential to a cause a "mass casualty event", alongside a document with both antisemitic sentiments and a list of targets.

Police are “not happy” details relating to caravan packed with explosives strong enough to create a 40-metre blast radius in Sydney were leaked to media and made public.

SYDNEY, Jan. 30 (Xinhua) -- The owner of a caravan found filled with explosives in northwest Sydney, the capital city of Australia's state of New South Wales (NSW), is already in police custody, authorities have said.

Chris Minns says he “can’t promise an end” to the spate of anti-Semitic attacks in NSW, but is vowing strong police responses and to even make changes to the law “to keep people safe”.

A caravan containing explosives and documents suggesting plans to target the Jewish community has been labelled a terrorist threat by the NSW premier, who said the objects could have led to a "mass casualty event".

The Australian Federal Police and ASIO are now involved in the investigation with police saying there is no ongoing threat to the public.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and NSW Premier Chris Minns will formally announce on Sunday the major upgrade to a two-lane semi-rural road.

A busy stretch of road in south-west Sydney will get a mammoth upgrade to connect it to the new western Sydney airport.
