Overview
- About 60 to 70 members of the National Socialist Network, using the name White Australia, rallied outside NSW Parliament with an “Abolish the Jewish Lobby” banner after a Form 1 notice lodged on October 28 was not opposed within seven days.
- Police Commissioner Mal Lanyon says neither he nor the premier was briefed, and he has ordered an internal review of the command-level decision and a separate assessment of potential offences under the August hate‑incitement provisions.
- Premier Chris Minns condemned the event and indicated the government may pursue legislative changes to give police greater ability to stop similar demonstrations.
- Opposition Leader Mark Speakman argued police should have opposed the assembly and issued move‑on directions, while civil liberties advocates warned against rushing to tighten protest laws and noted police already can seek court prohibitions.
- Two federal and state MPs who publicly criticised the rally reported receiving rape and death threats on social media and have referred the threats to NSW Police.
