That's merely an accurate restatement of the police statement. You said "did not get a response from the NSW police" but nowhere in the article (that I saw) does it say anything about how the Guardian made any attempt to contact the police nor fail to get a response.

That they did not get a response says nothing of whether or how hard they tried. They got a reponse from other police, but not NSW. Read into that whatever you please, I did not.
