1st House

2nd House

Law

This Bill was sponsored by Sue Higginson ( GRN )



Effects of Bill:

This bill being passed means that:

the Supreme Court and District Court can no longer make orders that outright prohibit a planned public assembly

courts may only declare an assembly unauthorised — the assembly can still proceed, but without the legal protections that apply to properly authorised assemblies
