Police had originally approved gathering, but attempting to cancel it now that thousands expected

Protestors gather during a Black Lives Matter rally, held in solidarity with U.S. protests over the death of George Floyd at the Archibald Fountain in Hyde Park on June 2, 2020 in Sydney, Australia.Australian authorities are taking legal action to try stop a Black Lives Matter protest scheduled to take place in Sydney on Saturday, citing the risk of an outbreak of COVID-19 given the large numbers expected to attend.

NSW police had originally approved the protest, on the understanding there would be fewer than 500 participants. Organizers now expect thousands of people to attend the gatherings.“The New South Wales government would never, ever give the green light to thousands of people flagrantly disregarding the health orders,” NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian told reporters in Sydney.

The Melbourne protest is still scheduled to take place with state police approval, although Victoria state Premier Daniel Andrews has urged people not to attend.
