NSW Premier Chris Minns may amend knife crime legislation for the second time within 12 months following the horrendous spate of stabbings in Sydney in recent days.
Premier Chris Minns says it would be ‘irresponsible’ not to look at knife crime laws after horrific spate of stabbings
It is understood both attackers had a history of knife related incidents, with the teenage attacker being on a good behaviour bond over knife possession at a station in November last year and in 2020 where he was found with a blade at school. “Obviously when people are being killed and you’ve got a situation where a knife is being used, then it would be irresponsible not to look at it.”
“The difference being where a knife was used as a part of that crime, to perpetrate it, decreasing; but the amount of people being caught in a public place, significantly increasing, particularly so in the past 12-18 months.”
