NSW Police remain locked in a battle with pro-Palestine supporters to stop a protest across the Sydney Harbour Bridge, with a decision on whether the march can go ahead now delayed until tomorrow.
The Palestine Action Group and NSW Police argued in the Supreme Court today on whether 10,000 protesters should be allowed to walk on the landmark to highlight the humanitarian crisis in Gaza on Sunday.
Down south in Melbourne, pro-Palestine supporters are planning to block the King Street Bridge on Sunday in solidarity with Sydney.
NSW Police are hoping the court blocks the protest, saying they were not given enough notice to plan a multi-agency response and that the protest poses a risk to the public and officers.
Acting Police Commissioner Peter Thurtell told reporters earlier today more than 40,000 vehicles would be affected across the bridge if the protest proceeds.
"It will be in excess of six hours," he said.
"This is an iconic symbol in Australia and we know a mass march over our Sydney Harbour Bridge will send the most powerful message we possibly can to Israel to stop this genocide, to the people of Gaza, that the whole world has not forgotten them," organiser Josh Lees told media outside court today.

"Our" bridge?
Push them over the side.

They've been given the go ahead and the counter to their protest had the brakes put on theirs.

"a lot of dismay in the community and wider society that a single judge has overruled a decision of the police and the elected government made in the interests of public safety".
Protesters are expected to march from the CBD to North Sydney, with the bridge closed from 11.30am to about 4pm.
As far as I can see on live webcam, the bridge traffic has been as usual and no really "massive" protest the fake news media tries to invent.
