Recent developments in Sydney include a legal challenge by the Palestine Action Group against the New South Wales (NSW) police. The group intends to contest in court the police’s decision to deny their application for a march to the Sydney Opera House, a refusal which authorities attributed to safety concerns. The group had submitted a “form 1” application to facilitate the protest.
In other news, a helicopter crash in Sydney’s south-west resulted in one fatality, with a 19-year-old individual reported to be in critical condition. NSW police have confirmed they will prepare a report for the coroner regarding this incident. Separately, a substantial police operation in south-west Sydney has concluded.
