Breaking: Former Greens senator Scott Ludlam's Extinction Rebellion bail conditions thrown out | AngusGthompson
Former Greens senator Scott Ludlum and another Extinction Rebellion activist have had bail conditions banning them from participating in more climate protests promptly thrown out by a magistrate.
Former Greens senator Scott Ludlam was arrested during Extinction Rebellion protests in Sydney on Monday."In effect, the conditions are drafted so widely as to try to stifle legitimate political protests," Mr James, a former NSW Supreme Court judge, told Deputy Chief magistrate Jane Mottley. The legal challenge came after the president of the NSW Civil Liberties Council, Pauline Write, said the bail conditions that the protesters were asked to sign were more commonly imposed on bikie gangs and those on terrorism charges.
The court heard police were concerned Ms Warner would commit a serious offence, while Mr Ludlum was feared to "endanger the safety" of victims or individuals in the community.
