NSW Police said initial estimates put the crowd at 90,000 while rally organisers, the Palestine Action Group, estimated the figure was closer to 300,000.

Palestine Action Group’s organiser Joshua Lees said on Sunday: “We want to build on this massive momentum we have now.”
“My argument here is I can’t close down the central artery for a city as big as Sydney — even on a short-term basis, but even if we had a massive heads up to do it.”
