The Supreme Court of NSW has sided with the NSW Police Commissioner’s challenge to a rally that was to be hosted by advocacy group Keep Sydney Open on January 21, 2017.

Keep Sydney Open believe the decision calls into question the future of political assembly in NSW. In response, the group has announced that the rally will go ahead at a later date, on February 18, with new premier Gladys Berejiklian in power.

"We will be rallying at a crucial time, with a new premier coming into power we need to send a message that this issue is not going anywhere. Our campaign will continue to be the thorn in the side of any government who continues to devastate the communities of our city with draconian, anti-business, anti-culture lockout laws," Keep Sydney Open said.

"Secondly, this time we’re not just protesting to draw attention to the lockouts, but we’re fighting for our very right as citizens of NSW to gather on the streets and express ourselves politically."
