Yesterday, the New South Wales court declared the exclusion zone imposed in Newcastle for the Rising Tide protests as ‘invalid.’ The protests will go ahead as planned this weekend.

The Minns government put this exclusion zone in place for protesters and beachgoers, raising concerns about freedom of speech and movement.

Protesters applauded the Court’s decision to invalidate the exclusion zone.
