Back to EpisodesNSW Premier's Warning Ignored on Protest Laws
Description
New South Wales Premier Chris Minns passed tough new laws on protests and guns, despite warnings from security expert Alexandra Caples that expanded police powers could alienate communities and boost radicalisation risks. The laws, which allow police to ban public gatherings during terror threats without court approval, have already been used to block protests, leading to clashes and angering faith leaders. Critics argue that the government ignored solid advice and sacrificed rights for quick action, potentially feeding grievances and making people more open to extremist views.
