New South Wales Police Commissioner Mal Lanyon has lifted restrictions on protests in Sydney's CBD and eastern suburbs that were in place following the Bondi Beach terror attack.
New South Wales Police Commissioner Mal Lanyon has officially ended the restrictions placed on protests in Sydney's Central Business District (CBD) and eastern suburbs, which had been implemented following the Bondi Beach terror attack. These restrictions, which provided police with the authority to deny permits for public demonstrations for up to 90 days after a terrorist act, aimed to maintain public safety but faced criticism for infringing on civil liberties. The removal of these restrictions follows a week of heightened tensions following clashes between police and protesters.
