Overview
- Police said the public assembly declaration lapsed shortly before 10am Tuesday and would not be extended.
- Lanyon urged a period of calm and voiced support for officers, saying last week’s clashes had very little bearing on his decision.
- The Law Enforcement Conduct Commission is investigating police conduct at the Herzog protest after receiving numerous complaints and videos.
- The fast‑tracked post‑Bondi law allows two‑week restriction designations with extensions up to 90 days and removes some legal protections without an outright ban.
- Protest groups can again apply to march through the city as usual, with decisions subject to court challenge, and organisers have flagged another rally on Sunday at Hyde Park.
