The third way that my SOP wants to improve the law, in the current proposals, is to actually provide that a breach of a safe area restriction is an infringement offence with a $500 fee as opposed to the $1,000 fee that is currently being proposed. This is because we do not want to criminalise protesting. We understand that the right to protest and the freedom of expression is a dearly held value across a society that affirms human rights, and indeed our bill of rights framework. For this reason, my proposal is wanting to reduce the fee but also do away with the power in the current provisions which enables a constable to arrest and take a person into custody without a warrant.
