Overview
- About 60 to 70 members of the National Socialist Network, branding themselves as White Australia, gathered outside NSW Parliament with a banner reading “Abolish the Jewish Lobby” and chanted Nazi slogans.
- NSW Police say the protest was deemed authorised because a Form 1 notice submitted on October 28 was not opposed within the seven‑day window.
- Commissioner Mal Lanyon and Premier Chris Minns said they were unaware the rally would occur due to an internal communication error, prompting an internal review of decision‑making and notifications.
- Police are reviewing footage to determine whether offences occurred under Section 93ZAA, which criminalises public incitement of racial hatred, with potential court action if breaches are identified.
- Minns condemned the demonstration and signalled consideration of expanded police powers to block similar events, while legal voices cautioned against overbroad curbs on protest rights.
