More than 10,000 protesters have defied pleas by the NSW Premier and police and marched through Sydney's CBD as part of the Black Lives Matter movement that has swept the world and reignited debate over the treatment of Indigenous Australians

The newly lawful protest was attended by at least 10,000 people. Standing shoulder to shoulder, the mask-clad crowd moved from the steps of Town Hall through the CBD, guided by police in a march towards Belmore Park, which was filled to the brim by 5pm.

"We want to make it a better future for our kids so they don’t have to go through the same stuff we did." Premier Gladys Berejiklian came under intense scrutiny on Friday after she was perceived a day earlier to have given Saturday's protest the go-ahead if it adhered to social distancing.

more should defy this vandal of Sydney and NSW she is quite evil on suppression and this is just 1 of the issues she is seen bleating about doing best when things are getting worse and public/community opinions are ignored - she and liberals have to be accountable

indigenous here is much better off than USblacks They got Mabo n mining royalty &compo They get a say n royalty from mining Their hate speeches tell us they hate the majority They want to move Oz day hate anthem What is to stop muslims to have their own sharia laws in Oz?

Any protests against domestic violence and child abuse in aboriginal communities? No? Why not? I thought black lives matter?

After this Gladys has to lift all restrictions, pointless to continue the covid scare campaign.

Don’t like deaths in custody? Don’t commit crime and don’t commit suicide in jail. Might work.

Yes because it’s more important than a political party, it’s for humanity/love/change- because who’s going to remember the 2020 NSW Premier in 2 years?

Disgraceful attitude towards authorities and for personal wellbeing. The virus isn’t over. Thanks for sending us backwards people. Lives do matter but please stay home

Proud to be there in support loverespectsupport AboriginalLivesMatter AboriginalDeathsinCustody

Stupid people. Why don't Australian's appreciate what a great country we live in. Probably because they are spoilt brats and love playing the victim. Not a good long term strategy the economy destroyed and protesters not caring. Arrogant idiots

Not social distancing nor wearing masks in Balmaine

Indigenous Aborigin you are saying?

Seems more people poured into stadiums to watch soccer! While many millions stayed home! Vietnamese lives matter!

Protests against the lockdowns will kill grandma. Protests not to do with the lockdowns? Fuck grandma.

❤️💛🖤

Misguided fools. It won’t make people take up their cause who are not already disposed to.

BlackLivesMattters protests in US, Canada,UK, Europe , Australia and NZ but not in Africa ,where blacks have been oppressed and mistreated compared in other nations!

“:10,000+ protesters have defied pleas by NSW Premier & police & marched through Sydney And the rest. as par…

So what about the 99.99% of Sydney residents that had better things to do? They are FORCED to a) Obey social distances laws away from the 'protest' and b) Accept that the rules only apply when it's politically expedient. The public really are serfs of the Globalist elite.

Correct this - they were given permission to at 3pm to continue with the rally.... don’t falsify a headline just to get more clicks

I'm convinced that the only thing wrong is their mind.

More and more xenophobic incidents will bring immeasurable losses to Australia, many people will be unemployed, and many businesses will go bankrupt

Black lives matter forever

Others say “more than 50,000”. That’s a big discrepancy. Who’s right

Triggered man-babies and RWNJs incoming in ... three ... two ... one ...

No donkeys....it's actually ignited a debate as to wether or not the ' rona is real or not....

Supreme Court of NSW rules Sydney Black Lives Matter protest as unlawfulNSW's high court has banned a protest on Aboriginal deaths in custody, which was expected to draw thousands to the Sydney CBD. 9News Can't they do it some other way? The pandemic is still here. What a waste of lockdown if everyone gets covid19 after 2 weeks coz of all these protests.🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ Headline should say “Court rules that we’re not ready to lift restrictions yet to allow mass protest” They’ll turn up anyway, the police will say “don’t” and turn a blind eye, and Nine News will breathlessly report on the “largely peaceful” protest of “thousands”, while the actual number will be just over 100
