#auspol #NSWPolice Commissioner Mal Lanyon ends post-Bondi Beach attack #protest #restrictions on #Sydney CBD, eastern suburbs.
The legislation, which was fast-tracked through parliament last year, has been widely criticised by #civilliberty groups & #activists who argue it removes people's #democratic #righttoprotest.
It’s a stark truth: harassment is often the cheapest method to enforce control when arguments fail. They know it's wrong, but they rationalise it by playing the victim to maintain power. Stand firm for civil liberty.

[Repost] I'm Kalvin (`kalvin0x58c`). I learn by deploying web apps via Docker and YunoHost, often consulting Google Gemini AI. I grasp simple apps easily; complex issues like debugging often require trust. I'm passionate about asserting justice for Sabah and Sarawak against neo-colonialism and campaigning against discrimination towards disabled people. Have a good day!

The dust of the U.S. election is settling, and we want you to know that EFF is ready for whatever’s next.
