The Government of NSW, with support from most parties has passed legislation that will see protestors who disrupt traffic and other legitimate movement of people and/or goods face heavy fines and jail time.
Fireproof Australia is one group that says it will not stop protesting.
Recent protests have gridlocked traffic.
Comments?

Expressing a point of view peacefully is one thing.
(it is integral to the working of democracy)
But disrupting the normal movement of people and goods is quite another.
It can cause unreasonable harm and disadvantage to citizens.
It is not beneficial to business or social activity, and should be frowned upon?

Rent-a-crowds must be dealt with far more harshly !

Indeed, why block roads against innocent ordinary people when instead you can serve them by turning government buildings into new roads?

Robert Askin was right all along....

They might 'face' heavy fines and imprisonment, but will the penalties be applied? Magistrates in Australia don't do their jobs properly. They all need to be replaced by people who will fine and jail people who think that they are above law. Too many of these publicly employed bludgers allow their private opinions to override their responsibilities. Climate change emotivism had one ratbag magistrate actually praising praising thugs recently, saying that he would be proud if his own daughter flouted the law.
