Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has defended the right of Australians to peacefully protest after nearly 90,000 demonstrators marched across the Sydney Harbour Bridge on Aug. 3.

“In a democracy, it’s a good thing that people peacefully express their views. It’s not surprising that so many Australians have been affected and want to show their concern at people being deprived of food, water and essential services,” Albanese told reporters on Aug. 4.
