MYSTERIOUS: Nsw risky gaps in guns registry noted years before bondi - You Need To See This

Removing an in-house intelligence analyst from a firearms licensing authority left gaps that posed a significant risk to public safety before the Bondi terror attack, an inquiry has been told.

NSW Police assistant commissioner Kirsty Heyward, who oversees police prosecutions and licensing enforcement, fronted the Royal Commission on Anti-Semitism and Social Cohesion on Wednesday.

The commission was told a senior intelligence analyst was staffed to the NSW Firearms Registry but removed in November 2021 because the role was deemed unnecessary.
