It is a not a peaceful protests. So why complain?
@TheHolm @MHLoppy
You're protesting about this toot? That does not deserve a $20,000 fine and court silence order. Nobody was injured by the protests. Therefore they were peaceful.
Disrupting other people lives and businesses is not a peaceful protest on my book. Fines should be proportional damage they caused and $20K is top you can get, exact sum is up to court.

You hit the nail on the head. The anti-protest law was passed to protect business, at the expense of human rights https://www.hrlc.org.au/news/new-western-australian-bill-threatens-protest-rights
