Justice Belinda Rigg announced the court’s decision not to prevent the Palestine Action Group from holding its protest on the Harbour Bridge, despite efforts from police and the NSW Government to stop the event.

Rigg said “The application by the (police) commissioner should be refused” in court today while handing down the decison.

Officials noted that the protest organizer was cooperative regarding concerns about crowd management and is considering changing the protest’s starting location.

Although the Palestine Action Group had offered to delay the protest for several weeks to help police manage the event, they opposed the idea of the protest being completely blocked by the courts.

“The Sydney Harbour Bridge is an iconic symbol in Australia, and marching across it sends a strong message to Israel to halt the genocide, reminding the people of Gaza that the international community has not forgotten them,” organizer Josh Lees declared to the media today, adding that it also addresses their own government.
