00:05Today we've had a really resounding win in the Court of Appeal to strike down
00:09Chris Min's latest batch of anti-protest laws as unconstitutional. This is a big
00:15win for everyone who cares about the right to protest, who cares about democracy
00:19in New South Wales, and of course who cares about a free Palestine. And for two
00:23and a half years now we have protested tirelessly against endless genocide and
00:28war in Gaza, war across the whole region, war being waged by the United States and
00:33Israel on country after country. These laws were terrible, they were so
00:38wide-ranging and that is what the Court has found today, is that they were
00:42totally unconstitutional on multiple grounds in the fact that they
00:47unfairly and disproportionately burdened our right to political
00:51communication in this state.
