Invasion Day rally proceeds despite NSW Health refusal to grant coronavirus exemption
Invasion Day protestors are gathering in Sydney despite the NSW Health Minister Brad Hazzard issuing an 11th-hour refusal to grant the demonstrators an exemption to coronavirus public health orders.

Rally organisers submitted a request to Mr Hazzard for an exemption to the 500 person cap for protests, which came into effect in response to the Avalon COVID-19 outbreak in December.
