This ban is such a garbage idea.

The cops have recently tried to shut down protests in Sydney by arguing that their route supposedly takes them too close to particular places of worship - despite the route being originally proposed by the cops! This will only bolster that obstructionism.

But he said there were already laws designed to do precisely that, which target violent protest, offensive behaviour, racial abuse and discrimination.

Amen!

The NSW Council for Civil Liberties (NSWCCL) has come out against these laws: https://www.nswccl.org.au/media_release_religious_institutions
