It is to me. 1984 "Ministry of Truth" vibes.
I can see your concern though I think it was mostly phrased badly.
The context has been Palestinians and the Left have been rioting and there were public celebrations of October 7th. A jewish person was abducted and tortured into giving the password of his phone to his capturers. They seemed to want his contact list.
Most recently there was a schizo guy who stabbed a lot of people at a shopping killing - about 7 dead. It was in area with a lot of Jewish people. Hard to say why he did this because a policegirl shot him dead as soon as she could..
Now this 15 yo tries to stab a bishop and it is acknowledged to have been a hate crime. Initially there was misinformation with a claim the congregation had cut the boys fingers off and one of the men apprehending him had jeans covered in blood... with the implication the blood was from severed fingers.
What appears to be the case is that the boy didn't open the pocket knife so it locked and the blade folded back cutting his fingers perhaps off, perhaps not.
I think the NSW Police are afraid of claims the congregation cut the boys fingers off will spark something worse. In the past there was a major NSW riot between muslims and white guys as to who owned a beach.
So the NSW Police are saying to not believe the scuttlebutt on social media and the police will publish what is happening and are doing more patrols to keep the general public safe.
It doesn't have the implications you are taking.
On the Australian Federal Gov't seeking to be able to rule on what are truthful statements and what aren't is certainly of high concern and is what worries me..

Didn’t say “only” source…but yeah not the best optics.
Although nanoseconds after the Bondi knife attack…posts about “And what race is he?”

So the police are the source of truth. Politicians, too, no doubt.
"Don't do research. Trust us. We'll tell you what to think."Australia should be making slam fire shotguns at the very least...
"The source of information should be from the Ministry of Truth and Ministry of Love".
No, this is Australia, a place were importing a game is a crime if Australia’s age rating board has refused to give the game a rating. They are weird. Would be scary if it was someplace with more common sense.
“Move along. There’s nothing to see here.”
No, I’m difficult to scare
