In a dramatic show of defiance and solidarity, over 90,000 protesters flooded Sydney Harbour Bridge on Sunday in what organisers hailed as a "historic" pro-Palestinian demonstration. Despite heavy rain and a last-minute legal battle, the Supreme Court authorised the event just 24 hours prior. The peaceful protest, dubbed the "March for Humanity", featured families, activists, and notable figures like Julian Assange,
MP Ed Husic, and ex-NSW Premier Bob Carr. Chants of “Ceasefire now” echoed across the bridge as riot police stood guard. The NSW Police had initially tried to block the protest, citing safety risks, but the court found no evidence a ban would enhance security. The march caused major traffic disruptions across Sydney, and sparked debate, with the NSW Jewish Board of Deputies calling the court’s decision “disappointing.” Meanwhile, pressure grows on Australia to recognise Palestine, but PM Albanese says he won’t act unless conditions for Israel’s security are met.
