NSW Police have shut down Sydney's latest Black Lives Matter rally, issuing a move on order and detaining organisers.

The fee hikes are symptomatic of changes to the university sector as a whole.

Thousands protested for Black lives in the Domain as part of a national weekend of action.

A challenge by the NSW Police Commissioner to prohibit the protest has been unsuccessful.

NSW Police were out in force today to stop Sydney's third Black Lives Matter protest.

Black Lives Matter protesters were pepper sprayed by police.

This protest is the first Black Lives Matter action in Sydney since the escalation in the US.

Over 100 were in attendance to fight staff and course cuts.

Proposed cuts to FASS courses reduced from 30 per cent to 8 per cent.

The strike is one of many around Australia occurring for May Day.
