Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this podcast, I break down the recent court decision that struck down New South Wales’ protest laws and why it matters more than most people realize.
These laws were introduced quickly, with the intention of giving police broader powers to control protests. But when tested in court, they didn’t hold up.
So what went wrong?
It’s about the limits of government power.
It’s about how far the law can go before it crosses the line.
I explain:
- What the protest laws actually did
- Why the court found them unconstitutional
- The concept of “freedom of political communication” in Australia
- What this means for future laws and police powers
The real question is: how much power should the government have to control their people?
