Court rules NSW protest laws introduced post-Bondi attack are unconstitutional

A judge in NSW's top court has struck down the state's laws regarding restrictions on protests.

Justice Minister David van Weel calls it "21st-century policing". The Dutch Data Protection Authority (AP) and the Netherlands Institute for Human Rights strongly criticise the proposal for lacking clear boundaries, risking mass tracking, discrimination, and threats to privacy, free speech, and the right to protest.
Now heading to Parliament. A dangerous precedent for Europe.
