A furious NSW Premier Chris Minns has vowed to lock up the "bastards" committing antisemitic attacks across Sydney. Minns lambasted the attacks as "utterly appalling and shameful", adding that he was ashamed to admit there were "terrible people" within the community.

The Australian Security Intelligence Organisation says it anticipated spikes in politically motivated violence months before a caravan laced with explosives, intended for Jewish targets in Sydney, was discovered by the side of the road 10 days ago.
The Australian Federal Police and ASIO are now involved in the investigation with police saying there is no ongoing threat to the public.
