The anti-protest laws give the state police commissioner power to issue a “public assembly restriction declaration” after a suspected terrorist incident has been declared. It can prevent protests and marches from being “authorised” by police or the courts, which can result in prosecution for protesters who obstruct people or traffic in a public place if their protest has not been formally authorised.

I’m not australian so i fail to understand why you guys would vote for that. Suspension of protesting rights should never be ok. If you suspend the rig to protest often that leads to violence since people can’t unleash that energy through protesting.
