00:00The Premier has come out and stated he didn't support it.
00:06On this occasion, after our deliberations, after we looked at the public safety, it turns
00:10out we're in complete agreeance.
00:13But it is certainly we don't get into the politics of it, we get into the public safety
00:17of it.
00:18Again, it's why I say I understand there are significant issues happening over in the Middle
00:21East at the moment and it has caused angst for people right around the world, but as
00:27New South Wales Police Force, we have to look at what is the safest way we can facilitate
00:35lawful protest.
00:36And bear in mind, we're not against people lawfully protesting.
00:38If people do attend on Sunday, they do not have the protections they would normally have
00:44on public assemblies, they do not have the protections under the Summary Offences Act,
00:49and they may face themselves being caught up in a situation where they are lawfully moved
00:55on and if offences are committed, arrested and charged.
