    Guardian article here: https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2025/dec/31/jewish-community-security-group-csg-right-carry-guns-after-bondi-attack-ntwnfb

    The NSW CSG, which describes itself as a mixture of security professionals and trained volunteers, records antisemitic incidents and assesses the level of threat to the community, which its website says is currently at the highest level – critical.

    It is run through the NSW Jewish Board of Deputies and funded by Jewish community organisations. It has received grants from federal and state governments.

    Under NSW’s Security Industry Act, CSG also holds a “master licence”, meaning it can provide licensed security staff in the state. Its ME class licence allows it to provide the maximum number of more personnel, 50 or more.
