Is Australia losing the right to protest?

Following the violent evening (9 February) where protesters met police outside Sydney’s Town Hall over Israel President Isaac Herzog’s controversial visit to Australia.

We ask the question - what is the point of a protest?

In this video, Professor Maria O’Sullivan from the Deakin University School of Law, takes us through:

• The right to assembly in Australia
• How laws allowing protests have been rolled back across the country over the last few years
• And the controversial decisions made by the NSW Government, Police and Supreme Court around that eventful evening.
