A legal challenge launched against New South Wales laws restricting protests after terrorist incidents, introduced following the Bondi beach attack, will not be resolved before several marches planned for later this month, setting up potential clashes between police and protesters.
Groups the Blak Caucus, the Palestine Action Group (PAG) and Jews Against the Occupation ’48 filed the challenge in the NSW supreme court on Wednesday, arguing in the court summons that the laws were invalid because they “impermissibly burden the implied constitutional freedom of communication on government and political matters”.
