Ua fa’aalia e se so’ofa’atasiga o ni fa’alapotopotoga lo latou te’ena o le tulafono e pei ona pasia i le palemene setete o New South Wales, o se fa’ai’uga e lamatia ai sa’olotoga fa’atemokarasi ma ua latou sauni e fa’aulu se tagi i le High Court e lu’i ai le agā tatau ma le Fa’avae o le tulafono.
E pei ona saunoa Josh Lees o le fa’alapotopotoga le Palestine Action Group o loo fa’amaopoopoina savali tete’e aga’i i le osofa’iga a Isara’elu i le Gaza:
“The constitutional challenge we're launching, we're planned to have three co-applicants to that, and that's going to be the Palestine Action Group, Jews Against the Occupation, and the Blak Caucus, who have a big interest in this, in a pressing sense, because of course there is the annual invasion day march coming up on the 26th of January. We have record levels of black deaths in custody going on right now under this Chris Minns government, and that is one crucial, pressing reason why we need to preserve the right to protest."
O loo fa’aalia fo’i le tete’e iai o le New South Wales Council for Civil Liberties, ma le fa’alapotopotoga le fono a tagata Iutaia, le Jewish Council of Australia i le tulafono.
Peita’i na tali le palemia setete o New South Wales, Chris Minns, e lē tala feagai le faia o ni savali tete’e i le fa’ato’a mae’a ai o se osofa’iga terorisi i le setete.
"These are important changes, but they're necessary, we believe, to live up to the number one priority of any government in office - the number one priority for any political leader, any government or any parliament - and that is to protect its citizens."
Na saunoa Chris Minns, o le popolega i taimi fa’apenei o le iai o nisi o tagata ma fa’alapotopotoga e faia savali ma le fe’au e avatu ai o le fa’atauemu ma faifai i isi tagata ona o tū, aganu’u ma talitonuga:
"My view about these protests has been that it is unleashing forces in our community that are not being contained. When you see people marching and showing violent, bloody images, images of death and destruction, it's unleashing something in our community that the organisers of the protests can't contain, and the truth of the matter is we can't risk another mass demonstration on that scale in New South Wales. The implications can be seen, in my view, on Sunday."
