New South Wales Premier Chris Minns has doubled down on an anti-protest law that was recently ruled unconstitutional by the New South Wales Court of Appeal. The court found that the law, which allowed police to restrict protests, did not serve a constitutionally legitimate purpose. Minns described the legislation as 'rational and proportionate,' a stance criticized by advocates for protesters who argue it undermines judicial independence. Legal experts suggest that the ruling could have significant implications for future government attempts to regulate protests based on the notion of 'social cohesion.' Following the court's decision, the NSW police commissioner announced a review of charges against protesters arrested under the now-defunct law, which had imposed severe restrictions on public demonstrations. Critics, including Greens justice spokesperson Sue Higginson, have called for the government to acknowledge the court's ruling and cease prosecutions against the community based on the unconstitutional law.
