New Victorian laws targeting peaceful protesters
should send a chill up our spines

Fri 5 Aug 2022 03.30 AEST

On Thursday new laws were passed in Victorian parliament that
will see peaceful protesters faced with fines of up to $21,000,
or 12 months in jail, for trying to save our environment.

A person standing in front of a 100-year-old tree demanding
it be saved from logging could be slapped with a fine
the price of a small car, or put behind bars.

It's in the proper place and a good warning for you
when you try to save that next tree.
