Extra police on duty across new South Wales on Australia day

Australia's New South Wales (NSW) Police on Friday urged the community to play and stay safe on Australia Day. NSW Assistant Commissioner Mark Murdoch on Friday Launched Operation Shoreline, which will see about 2,500 police deployed across the state Sunday. He said the police operation would ensure Australian and tourists have a safe and enjoyable day. Police will focus on alcohol-related crime and anti-social behavior on the national day. "We will not tolerate for one minute drunken buffoons who want to interfere with other people's ability to enjoy the day," Murdoch told reporters in Sydney. NSW Premier Barry O'Farrell has recently announced a series of new measures to combat alcohol-fueled violence after mounting public pressure to act.
