NSWPF statement on upcoming protest action

The Palestinian Action Group has withdrawn their Form 1 for a public assembly on Sunday 6 October 2024 and submitted a new Form 1 following negotiations with the NSWPF that focused on public safety concerns.

The location and route of the protest has now changed, and protest organisers have agreed that no flags, portraits or symbols connected to a prohibited terrorist organisation will be displayed.

The NSWPF has not opposed the new Form 1 and will work with organisers to conduct a high visibility policing operation on Sunday to ensure the safety of the community. Police will not hesitate to take appropriate action against anyone who commits a criminal offence.

The Palestinian Action Group has also withdrawn their Form 1 for a public assembly on Monday 7 October 2024 and has not proposed a new Form 1, making that public assembly unauthorised if it goes ahead.

As a result of these negotiations the Supreme Court dismissed the NSWPF’s application by consent and noted the above agreement. No order on costs was made.
