Green Left and Socialist Alliance held this forum on Resisting genocide and police repression — Why is Labor criminalising freedom of speech? at the Resistance Centre in Gadigal Country/Sydney on February 26.

Speakers included Palestinian activist from Gaza Shamikh Badra; Tim Roberts from the NSW Council of Civil Liberties; Grace Street, president of the University of Sydney Student Represenative Council; Yehuda Aharon from Jews Against the Occupation ’48; and Pip Hinman from Socialist Alliance. It was chaired by Isaac Nellist from Socialist Alliance.

They discussed the attacks of civil rights by the Chris Minns Labor government in NSW, particularly in the context of the police violence against people protesting Israeli President Isaac Herzog at Sydney Town Hall on February 9.

They also discussed the current anti-protest laws and how to build the campaign to resist repression and defeat these undemocratic measures.
