NSW Bans Protests, Enacts New Anti-Terror Laws

New South Wales Premier Chris Minns endorses Police Commissioner Mal Lanyons decision to ban public gatherings and protests in Sydneys central, north-west, and south-west areas for two weeks. This move aims to prevent mass protests that could disrupt social harmony during the holiday season. The ban, backed by Minns, is a result of new anti-terrorism legislation that also restricts the display of terrorist symbols, limits gun licenses, and grants police the power to halt protests after terror events. Commissioner Lanyon assures responsible use of these powers to maintain safety and unity.
