NSW parliament passes laws limiting protests, but will they be allowed to stand?

Laws to restrict the right to protest in New South Wales after the Bondi terror attack have passed the Parliament after a marathon sitting. A broad coalition of groups has expressed strong opposition, characterising the reforms as overreach and a serious threat to democracy. A constitutional challenge has been announced but the government is standing firm, setting the stage for a High Court challenge.
