NSW Police Gain Protest Ban Powers Post-Attack
Update: 2025-12-24
Description
New laws in New South Wales grant police extensive powers to curb protests following terror attacks, sparking controversy and legal challenges. The changes allow for a two-week ban on public demonstrations, with potential extensions, and give officers broader authority to disperse crowds. While supporters argue the measures protect community unity, critics decry them as undemocratic and a threat to civil liberties. As the legal battle unfolds, Sydney remains protest-free for the next two weeks, with uncertainty about the long-term impact of these new regulations.
