New South Wales Premier Chris Minns and two cabinet ministers are subpoenaed to give evidence in a criminal case linked to a protest against Israeli President Isaac Herzog’s visit. According to reports, the subpoenas are issued by the defence and require the premier and ministers to appear in court as witnesses in the matter involving 17 protesters facing various charges.
The outlets describe the same core development but with slightly different emphasis. ABC reports that the premier and police minister (and two ministers overall) may be compelled to testify in a case stemming from a February Town Hall protest. The Guardian adds procedural and political context, including that Minns and relevant ministers are scheduled to provide evidence in the lead-up to March 2027, and names the tourism minister, Steve Kamper, alongside the police minister, Yasmin Catley.
