March 2, 2021
Activist group Pride in Protest have vowed to go ahead with Saturday’s planned Mardi Gras protest march despite formal opposition from NSW Police.
NSW Police will oppose the Mardi Gras protest in line with current NSW public health orders. Under the present restrictions, political gatherings are limited to 500 people.
At a press conference this morning, Pride in Protest criticised the police’s decision to as unconstructive and discriminatory. The group also accused the police of double standards, alleging that much larger protests have recently been allowed to go ahead.
