A planned pro-Palestine protest at the Sydney Opera House has been banned by the court after police raised concerns about crowd safety and potential congestion. Organisers had hoped to gather around 40,000 people for Sunday's march, but the decision was made by three senior judges following arguments about previous large events at the venue. The Palestine Action Group, which has held weekly rallies since 2023, expressed disappointment and highlighted the urgency of their cause, citing ongoing violence in Gaza and the need for government action. The court's ruling comes amid heightened tensions and ongoing negotiations for a ceasefire in Gaza.
