Palestine Action Group march planned from Sydney Town Hall to NSW parliament in breach of public assembly declaration

A court challenge to the New South Wales government’s use of special powers during the visit of Israeli president, Isaac Herzog, will be decided at an urgent hearing on Monday, as police continue to urge protesters planning to march through Sydney’s CBD to take an alternative route.

At a hastily convened NSW supreme court hearing on Sunday evening, Justice Natalie Adams ruled a challenge by the Palestine Action Group to “major event” powers invoked during the visit would be heard before a planned march from Sydney town hall to state parliament on Monday night. Herzog was expected to arrive on Sunday evening and depart on 12 February.
