Condemnation of the Bridge Protest and Calls for Stricter Laws

Julian Lisa, the shadow federal attorney general, strongly condemned the protests that took place on the Sydney Harbor Bridge over the weekend. Describing the demonstration as a "bad decision," Lisa emphasized that the bridge is a symbol of unity for both the city and the nation. He expressed concern that crowds hijacked this symbol for divisive causes, resulting in the closure of the bridge and significant inconvenience to residents and commuters. Lisa called on the New South Wales government to reconsider the existing protest laws, advocating for tighter restrictions to prevent similar disruptions in the future.
