Minns told Ben Fordham Live he believes NSW Police should be able to decline formal requests to shut down streets in Sydney for demonstrations.

"As part of that assessment, [police] should be in a position to say, we can't do it this weekend because you've done it for the previous 50 weekends," he said.

Yeah, for most politicians it's just them toeing the party line of toadying to the U.S. and weapons manufacturers (or freelance toadying to them), but Minns does seem to have an actual ideological pro-Israel position.

Most famously he lit up the Sydney Opera House in Israeli colours, but here's an article reporting on his speech at a Sydney event in May, for Israel's 76th 'Independence Day' (i.e. celebration of the Nakba): https://web.archive.org/web/20241008230705/https://www.australianjewishnews.com/premiers-praise-for-israel-2/
