The father of a teenager who was knifed to death is calling on the New South Wales government to adopt a Queensland law allowing police to conduct random weapons searches, amid a spate of violent and high-profile stabbing attacks in Australia's most populated state.
Queensland father whose son was stabbed to death pushes for Jack's Law to be implemented in NSW , giving police stronger stop-and-search powers
Speaking in the aftermath of the attacks at Westfield Bondi Junction and a church in south-west Sydney, Premier Chris Minns said it would be"irresponsible" to rule out tougher laws to stem the violence, but stopped short of endorsing specific measures. One option under consideration by the Premier is adopting Jack's Law - legislation named after 17-year-old Jack Beasley - who was killed on the Gold Coast in 2019.Speaking to Sky News Australia on Tuesday, Jack Beasley's father, Brett Beasley, said he would use a meeting with the NSW government to push for its introduction, highlighting the success of the law in his home state.
