The premier has warned against any move to “smash up” the state conference, and put his own MPs on notice about party solidarity.
NSW Labor HQ is bracing for major pro-Palestine demonstrations disrupting the party’s state conference in late July, with fears political extremists could threaten the safety of delegates.
One rally organiser suggested the protest could reach up to 10,000 people, while others suggested about 6000 or 7000. NSW Police confirmed they had received an application to conduct a public assembly on the Saturday of the conference, but declined to speculate on the potential size of the protest.
Minns on Friday said any effort to disrupt the state conference would be a “real shame” and would indicate the real aim was the disruption of “a lawful, public meeting that is democratic that’s existed for 130 years”.
