Australia makes protesting illegal and fines protesters $600 and can gaol (jail) up to 2 years
Anonymous Coward User ID: 55541538 Indonesia 03/13/2014 06:45 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation	Australia makes protesting illegal and fines protesters $600 and can gaol (jail) up to 2 years R.I.P FREE SPEECH: Protesters can now be charged $750 or 2 years gaol for attending protests in Victoria On Tuesday the Legislative Council of Victoria passed the Summary Offence Act 2013, which outlaws the right to protest in Victoria, by a vote of 20-18. From September onwards the police in Victoria will have the power to ‘move on’ groups of people at their will, including those involved in peaceful protests and pickets. Those who refuse to comply with these orders can be issued with fines of $750, exclusion orders, and jail gaol terms of up to 2 years. - [link to axr.be] I'm not from Australia but I know yesterday when we were talking about this they said there is not much to protest there. But that's crazy because I would protest the anti protest bill lol

Can only remember how varied the country was....made it to Ayres rock. Spent a week in a very large tent. I have a few acquaintances there I stay in contact with....their reports over the years are simply further proof how much the crown of England still controls the country. IMHO Lets go Brandon!! What doesn't kill us...makes us more interesting Either you live for something worth dying for....or you rot away and die on the installment plan quote: Mr Bill when I post something....I will remove any post I find disrespectful or offensive.....

At least in Australia. It's probably just a plain old revenue grab.

It's a shame she came into power by stabbing her colleague in the back, she might have stayed around for longer. She launched the royal commission into child sex abuse, I'll always applauded her for that.
