The New South Wales premier, Chris Minns, on Thursday said the growing pressure on the public mental health system needed to be addressed, including by implementing recommendations from the Bondi Junction stabbings inquest. He said he was concerned about the security failing that led to patients to abscond and that there needs to be a full investigation into the circumstances relating to these patients.
That original committee investigated both the failures of security and the events that led up to the attack, ultimately determining that President Donald Trump's baseless claim that he only lost the 2020 presidential race to Joe Biden due to widespread fraud was the "central cause" of the event. That original committee was led by Democrats. The new GOP-led committee, which was established through a House resolution in the fall, ostensibly seeks to examine parts of the attack that the first committee supposedly overlooked, namely the security failures.
