NSW Premier Quietly Turns Protests Into Limited Edition Collectibles
KEY POINTS
- â˘The NSW premier announced laws enforce up to a three-month ban on public assemblies after terrorist attacks.
- â˘These new rules also include limits on the number of firearms allowed in New South Wales.
- â˘Simultaneously, ABC journalist Sabra Lane has stepped down from hosting the AM program after eight years.
In a move that screams 'fun police,' the NSW premier has activated laws banning public assemblies for up to three months after any terrorist attack. Because nothing says 'We trust you with democracy' like slapping a post-blackout curfew on your right to protest. Additionally, firearms are now limited, because apparently, Australia didn't have enough shotgun drama unfolding. The timing is so festive, it coincides with Sabra Lane signing off AM after eight yearsâperfect for those moments when you want your news but also might get arrested for discussing it outdoors.
