Victoria plans protest crackdown in bid to boost social cohesion

2 years ago by MHLoppy to c/melbourne

The Victorian government has pledged to introduce a raft of new restrictions on protesters, including banning protests from being held near places of worship.

In short:

The government will introduce laws to restrict protesters in Victoria, following a series of anti-Semitic incidents across the state.

Face coverings, certain flags and attachment devices will be banned at protests. [seemingly including disease-preventing face masks, but it's left slightly ambiguous]

The government will also introduce legislation which would establish protest-free zones around places of worship.
