Do we have a right to protest?

Across the country, protests are held every week. Sometimes, it’s to protest against government actions, other times, to bring attention to an overseas cause. A pro-Palestine protest organised for this weekend in Sydney has been banned by a NSW court, which ruled the public safety risk is “extreme”. In light of this decision, we wanted to ask the question: Is there a right to protest in Australia? We’ll unpack that and the latest decision in today’s podcast.
