    They will keep extending it until its permanent.

    That was always the sole and exclusive purpose of these laws, to outlaw protest.

    Why don’t we offer up NSW to be part of the promiseland? As the population of Israel grows, there is only so much land they can steal from other nations.

    I’m willing to bet $100 that this thought has definitely crossed Chris Minns’s mind

  3. It is a disgrace that a so called democracy is even inviting the president of a genocidal nation. And then to discourage the citizens of this democracy from protesting this monster just shows how bought our political class is by the donor class. Every single person should be protesting his presence, it’s an affront to democracy and to humanity itself. Along with the Epstein news, it is nothing but non stop depravity by the rich and powerful. It’s stomach turning.

    Coincidences are crazy like that. Them taking away my right to peaceful protest… as a pro-genocide public figure enters the country. 

    🍉 Imagine if – coincidentally – I hear of a watermelon sale nearby. But there are so many people trying to buy and bring home watermelons that the streets are packed 🍉 

  5. What are you losers complaining about? These restrictions aren’t permanent. They’re just made up of an infinite number of sequential fortnights.

  6. So the government is banning people, residents and citizens of NSW from protesting the leader of a ***foreign country*** which the ICC (Australia is a signatory of) has warrants outstanding for it’s senior govt members.

    “significant animosity’ is the reason quoted. Which is an interesting reason for an employee of the state to cite as a reason to curtail what is an implied freedom of political communication

  7. i don’t think we ever see something like we saw harbour bridge last year ever again folks

    nanny state

  8. They criticise the protests for “bringing an overseas conflict to our shores”… Then they literally bring it to our shores by inviting the President of Israel… and then tell us we can’t protest.

    Disgusting hypocrisy.

    Won’t stop it. Pretty sure people will turn up still. At some point right? Can a ban be forever

    It’s absolutely outrageous that we would invite this guy in the first place. And to then to try deny us a the right to protest.

    As someone who is under investigation for genocide and a member of this current Israeli government he should not be allowed to step foot in this country.

    I do not commit or condone antisemitism (can’t believe I had to actually state this but such is Reddit) but this guy coming to our country will not help reduce antisemitism, especially if they ban protests.

  11. Just so everyone knows, protests are not banned. The form for getting approval so you can legally block roads and sidewalks will not be able to be approved. It will not be illegal to protest.

    Peaceful protest should always be allowed, there is no rationale reason for these restrictions.

  13. lol what a bullshit piece of legislation. Needs to be repealed or struck down by the courts.

  14. Can you imagine this in 1941:

    *In Manly, 10 Germans get shot by two Jews*

    Labor: “Lets invite the president of Germany and ban anti-Germany protests”
