Sunday, 3 January 2021 Australian cabinet papers have revealed security concerns heading into the Sydney 2000 Olympics largely centred on the possibility of a team being taken hostage at the Games. The National Archives of Australia has released cabinet papers from August 2000, entitled Progress of Commonwealth Security Preparations. The papers outline the steps taken by the country to protect the Sydney 2000 Olympics from security threats. Documents reveal the Australian Government sent a team of security experts to the United States to meet with its National Security Council. A series of exercises were held in May 2020, named Ring True. “The security issues that could arise during the 2000 Olympics and the appropriate responses to them are now well understood as a result of a series of national exercises that culminated in Exercise Ring True in May 2000,” Attorney General Daryl Williams wrote to the cabinet in August, one month prior to the Games.
