Gina Field - Sunrise Interview on 19 March 2025

Channel 7 Sunrise Interview on 19th March 2025

Gina appeared on Channel 7’s Sunrise to discuss Westfield’s decision to equip security guards with body cameras in major shopping centres across Australia and New Zealand. The move follows last year’s tragic Bondi Junction attack, which claimed the lives of six people, including a security guard.

Gina applauded the decision, emphasising that body cameras serve as a strong deterrent and improve safety for security staff, shoppers, and store owners. She highlighted that the footage could assist police investigations by providing direct evidence instead of relying on public recordings, ultimately streamlining the process and reducing costs.

Addressing privacy concerns, Gina acknowledged the public’s apprehension about increased surveillance but stressed the importance of clear communication from Westfield about how the footage is stored and used.

She also called for further security measures, suggesting better public education on situational awareness and the introduction of emergency apps or direct hotlines to security providers.

As a coronial inquest into the Bondi Junction attack approaches, Gina’s insights reinforce the importance of evolving security strategies in public spaces.
