NSW police commissioner made last-minute bid to hold closed-door hearings into Sydney anti-Herzog protest

The New South Wales police commissioner made a last-minute bid to hold closed-door hearings into Sydney's anti-Herzog protest. This move delayed the inquiry, which was launched after widespread allegations of police brutality during the February protest at Sydney's town hall. The police watchdog, the Law Enforcement Conduct Commission, has criticized the commissioner's timing, calling it 'regrettable'. The inquiry will now proceed with a mix of public and private hearings, allowing for greater transparency and accountability.
