Stephen Lawrence, a NSW Labor MLC, analyzes the Sydney anti-Herzog protest, arguing that conflict was near-inevitable due to the legal framework and police power. He criticizes the suppression of protests and highlights similarities to the 1978 Mardi Gras riot. He calls for a move beyond the false dichotomy of perfect police and dangerous protesters.
