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

How sad too bad. The clergy did not care where they abused their victims, abusing victims in churches, in schools, in homes. The victims had no choice.

If protests make the church look bad then good.
