EXPLAINER: Why people are worried about SA's new anti-protest laws, and why you should be too.
A thread:
👩🏾‍⚖️ What these laws do: they increase the penalties for "obstructing a public place" So let's start by defining what a public place is at law
#ProtectProtest #AusLaw #AusPol S4 Summary Offences Act SA defines it as:
👩🏾‍🦽A place to which free access is permitted to the public (like parks, civic squares etc.)
🎞️A place to which the public are admitted on payment of money (stadiums or cinemas etc)
🛣️ A road, street, footway etc.
