Mike Baird might no longer be the NSW Premier, but it seems things are getting no easier for those seeking to overturn his government’s controversial lockout laws.

Keep Sydney Open, a grassroots movement which has already held two rallies against the laws, says they were notified at 6pm last night that the NSW Police Commissioner has applied to the Supreme Court of NSW to ban their Kings Cross rally tomorrow night.

The case is due to be heard today, but Keep Sydney Open is still going ahead with planning the rally, with leading Australian electronic/dance act Flight Facilities locked in for a DJ set.

The organisation says they submitted notice on January 9 of their intention to hold the lawful rally, but no legal proceedings were commenced by the Police until yesterday, January 19, at 4pm.

Keep Sydney Open posted the following message to Facebook this morning:
