As the community gets ready to celebrate the long weekend by catching up with loved ones and watching the rugby league grand final, the Minns Labor Government is reminding everyone to look after each other.
Everyone can play a role in building a safer New South Wales, and that starts with looking out for your mates, and respecting other members of the community.
For those planning to drink this weekend, remember to do it responsibly, and absolutely never get behind the wheel of a car.
New South Wales Police Officers will be targeting drink and drug driving, fatigue, mobile phone use, speeding and seatbelt and helmet offences, with double demerits in place from 12:01am Friday 3 October 2025 and concluding at 11:59pm on Monday 6 October 2025.
Sadly, while many celebrate this weekend there will be others who do not feel safe in their own homes, with a concerning trend over recent years of increased rates of domestic, family and sexual violence at times of large events across the state.
If you witness unacceptable behaviour, call it out.
