Tens of thousands of people have been protesting across Australia in support of the Black Lives Matter movement.
The marches were inspired by the death of African American George Floyd in police custody.
However, protesters were also highlighting the mistreatment and marginalisation of Australia’s Aboriginal people.
Protesters were ready to defy a ban in Sydney but it was overturned at the last minute by a court of appeal.
Rallies have also been organised in Brisbane, Melbourne, Hobart, Adelaide and elsewhere.
They have been held in high spirits with no reports of major unrest, although there were tense scenes later in the evening at Sydney’s Central Station.
