NSW Premier Chris Minns has advised that the state government will hold a special coronial inquiry into Joel Cauchi’s knife attack at Westfield Bondi Junction. The government will allocate up to $18m in extra funding for the inquiry, which amongst other things will examine the police response to the attack. Meanwhile, NSW police will travel to Queensland to talk to Cauchi’s family and friends as they seek to determine his motive for the attack. Minns says the motive might never be known, although he notes that Cauchi seems to have targeted women. Cauchi killed five women and one man, while eight of the 12 people who suffered stab wounds are still in hospital.

New South Wales Police Commissioner Mick Fuller says the man alleged to have murdered one woman and stabbed another during a bloody rampage in Sydney on 13 August had no apparent connections to terror groups. Mert Ney, who was carrying a butcher’s knife and shouting "Allahu akbar!" , was tackled by onlookers until police and emergency services could arrive. Fuller said information found in Ney’s possession suggested he had "ideologies relating to terrorism but he has no links to terrorism". Prime Minister Scott Morrison says the attack was "deeply concerning", while NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian, who is currently in London, said her thoughts were with all the victims and witnesses of "this horrific incident".

The New South Wales Director of Public Prosecutions withdrew a murder charge due to there being "no reasonable prospect of conviction". The trial of Brian Thomas Bradbury over the death of his wife in 2011 had been due to start in the Supreme Court. On 15 December 2014, a ruling was handed down that the state should compensate the accused for his legal costs. Acting Justice Jane Matthews noted the weak case of the Crown, which was based on circumstantial evidence

New South Wales police and legal experts warn that the person responsible for a fatal fire in the Sydney suburb of Rozelle could be jailed for murder. An accelerant was used to start the blaze on 4 September 2014, which claimed the lives of three people in a unit above the shop where the fire was started. Dr David Hamer of the University of Sydney says that the arsonist could be charged with murder even if they did not intend to kill anyone
