The New South Wales premier, Chris Minns, has said he is “confident” new laws to ban protests for up to three months can withstand a constitutional challenge from three groups who regularly organise demonstrations in Sydney.
The groups – the Palestine Action Group Sydney, Jews Against the Occupation 48 and the Blak Caucus – said on Tuesday they intended to launch legal action as soon as the laws were passed, although none had plans for any immediate protests.
