The NSW Civil and Administrative Tribunal upheld the Independent Liquor and Gaming Authority's July decision, which was made at the request of NSW Police. The ban stems from concerns about Papadopoulos's presence in venues deemed high-risk, though specific police allegations are not detailed in the public decision.
