Supreme Court authorises pro-Palestinian march over Sydney Harbour Bridge
The NSW Supreme Court has authorised a pro-Palestinian march over the Sydney Harbour Bridge on Sunday. The judge reached a decision on Saturday morning, declining a prohibition order from NSW Police. The protest organisers, Palestine Action Group Sydney, have previously vowed to rally regardless of the court outcome, ending a Facebook post with "whatever happens, see you on Sunday." Police argued that closing the bridge with less than a week's notice was unreasonable, stating that they could not create a safe environment for the rally and raised the possibility of a crowd crush. Lachlan Gyles SC, who represented NSW Police, told the court on Friday: "This is really unprecedented in terms of scale, the level of risk, the lack of time to prepare." The organisers' spokesperson, Josh Lees, denied the claim. "We (Palestine Action Group) want to work with them to facilitate a march over the bridge that is safe and peaceful," he said. Felicity Graham, the group's barrister, told the court it would be safer for police to authorise the protest, as people would march regardless of the decision. "A prohibition order may well increase the number of people who attend the protest, and exacerbate the potential for unrest and violence," she said. Outside the court, Lees said on Friday they were open to delaying the rally. "We put forward a whole proposal for 24 August, we would have our march over the Sydney Harbour Bridge that would march identical routes to the World Pride March in 2023," he said. Graham also said that the growing support for the march, which includes members of parliament, organisations, and high-profile figures, should be considered. Earlier this week, NSW Premier Chris Minns said he "cannot allow Sydney to descend into chaos". The bridge has previously been shut, including for a reconciliation rally in 2000 which attracted more than 250,000 people. — With additional reporting from the Australian Associated Press This is a developing story and this article will be updated.
