MORNING BRIEFING: NSW Police deploy officers from five departments including the riot squad to disperse the protest over university fee hikes, fining 21 people for breaching public health orders which prohibit gatherings of more than 20 people.
Police have issued fines totalling $21,000 to a group of student protesters objecting to university job cuts and fee hikes.
This is despite despite health authorities insisting the virus is likely still circulating in Sydney. The move came after two consecutive days of no community transmission of coronavirus being reported in NSW. Premier Gladys Berejiklian says the State Government will offer to pay for Sydney's New Year's Eve fireworks to make sure they go ahead.
