ALP members must support these rebel MPs and force a repeal of these anti-democratic protest laws. The South Coast Labour Council posted a call by the President of the NSW Council for Civil Liberties, Timothy Roberts:

“We call on the Labor caucus to either bring this Premier to heel or turf him out.”

How the NSW Left will square this circle remains to be seen, but ALP activists must make it increasingly difficult for the NSW Government to carry on like this. An open rebellion is required.

The article also has a section critisising the Palestine Action Group's organisation of protests, as well as some socialist groups seeking to fill the gap:
