Draconian Anti-protest Laws
from Follow The Money Hosted by The Australia Institute
The Tasmanian Government’s proposed law for a police crackdown on peaceful protest has been criticised as anti-democratic and a threat to civil society. The Bill creates disproportionate penalties for people who peacefully protest against business activities, equivalent to aggravated assault, possessing an implement with intent to commit a crime, or loitering near children. This was recorded on 28th June 2022 and things may have changed since recording.
