NSW protest laws introduced after Bondi attack struck down | ABC NEWS
Laws to restrict protests in New South Wales following the Bondi Beach terrorist attack have been struck down by the state’s top court.
The Court of Appeal accepted arguments by protest groups that the expanded police powers were unconstitutional.
Chief Justice Andrew Bell ruled the laws “impermissibly burdened” the implied right to freedom of political communication under Australia’s constitution.
