NSW chief justice says Tony Abbott’s criticism of Harbour Bridge march judge ‘misconceived and ignorant’

Andrew Bell says it's regrettable' that former PM suggested judge had made a political judgment' regarding pro-Palestine protest in August

The chief justice of New South Wales has criticised former prime minister Tony Abbott for what he says was a regrettable, misconceived and ignorant attack on a judge's decision regarding last year's pro-Palestine Sydney Harbour Bridge march.

Andrew Bell said in a speech on Thursday evening that Abbott's post on X in August last year threatened social cohesion.
