NSW government faces constitutional challenge over proposed anti-protest laws

Published
The New South government will face a constitutional challenge against new proposed protest laws put forward in the wake of the Bondi terror attack. The laws, if passed, would provide police extraordinary powers to ban major public assemblies for up to three months. It's part of sweeping reforms to toughen gun laws, ban hate speech as well as prohibited terror organisation symbols which are currently debated before the upper house.
