New South Wales Premier Chris Minns is seeking parliamentary approval for new powers that would effectively ban protests for up to three months. The proposed legislation would allow police, with ministerial agreement, to restrict public assemblies in designated areas when a terrorism designation is in place. Minns linked recent pro-Palestine rallies to the Bondi terror attack, stating the state "can't risk another mass demonstration on that scale." The premier argues these "extraordinary powers" are necessary to prevent future incidents. The proposed ban is intended to be temporary, lasting for a period of three months.
