Kyle Sandilands asks the one question about security guards everyone is thinking as he gets angry about spate of Sydney stabbings: ‘What has to happen?

Radio shock jock Kyle Sandilands has joined growing calls for security officers to be armed in Australia following two stabbing incidents that shocked Sydney.

Six people were killed by 40-year-old Queensland man Joel Cauchi before he was shot dead by a female police officer in a terrifying rampage at Westfield Bondi Junction on Saturday afternoon.

Among the victims was Faraz Tahir, a security guard at the mall, while another security guard was injured in the rampage.

Cauchi’s estranged family said he had struggled with mental health issues for decades.

Two days later, a 16-year-old boy was arrested after stabbing a bishop and a second pastor with a knife during a sermon at a Sydney church.

Sandilands, whose wife Tegan’s aunt was stabbed during the Westfield attack, unleashed a tirade on the government on the Kyle and Jackie O Show on Tuesday, questioning why security guards do not have the necessary weapons to protect civilians.

‘I saw the [NSW] Prime Minister [Chris Minns] Last night it was said on TV that firearms for guards are not on the agenda. And I thought, ‘Well, what has to happen before a security guard can actually secure the place for us?'” Sandilands raged.

“Every shopping center and school should have armed guards, trained specialists, not just some guy who gets a small firearms permit. I mean, well educated.”

Most retail security personnel in NSW are unarmed and the batons are classified as prohibited weapons requiring special licensing and training.

“For example, there are people who work at Westfield, women who work in stores, who have said to their husbands, ‘I’m never going back to Westfield. I’m never going back to work,'” Sandilands continued, adding that those store employees are “forever traumatized” after Saturday’s stabbings.

He then expressed his harsh views on how Australia should deal with violent, mentally ill people who pose a threat to society.

‘I saw the Prime Minister on TV last night saying that firearms for security guards are not on the agenda. And I was like, ‘Well, what has to happen before a security guard can actually secure the place for us?'” Sandilands raged.

“It’s enough to be kind enough to let the fools run around among us. Let us gather them, let us lock them up and give them treatment,” he added.

Sandilands co-host Jackie ‘O’ Henderson pointed out that it may be too difficult to identify such people, asking: “How do you know who’s who though?”

‘You see!’ Sandilands exclaimed, adding, “Look around: half the people on the train are crazy!”

Sandilands’ views were echoed by fellow veteran Ray Hadley, who on his 2GB radio program in Sydney on Monday demanded that guards across the state be armed.

“For years I have been advocating that all security guards in the state at hospitals and malls should be better equipped,” he said.

“Especially in hospitals, the madness of a weekend, drug-affected people wanting to attack doctors and nurses.”

“And these poor guards, unarmed, unable to do what they’re supposed to do: protect the people they’re there to protect.”

“They need at least capsicum spray and even tasers after they have been fully trained in their use.

He demanded NSW Premier Chris Minns take urgent action now after the Prime Minister announced an independent coronial inquiry into the Bondi Junction stabbings.

‘I heard Minns say that we will wait until the corona investigation. Minns, you don’t need brand new research. You have to make sure that the guards can protect people somehow,” Hadley told listeners.

“You must take immediate action against unarmed security guards in these areas, such as shopping centers and hospitals. We don’t need an investigation.’

Mass killings are rare in the country of about 27 million, which has some of the strictest gun and knife laws in the world.
