Imagine laws put in place to protect an organisation known to defend and protect pedophiles.

Why does it need the Supreme Court to highlight the obvious?
>*Justice Anna Mitchelmore rejected this interpretation, noting that the legislative text specifically targeted protest activity without requiring the protest to be focused on or directed at the place of worship itself. The ruling highlighted that common protest routes often put demonstrators in close proximity to places of worship, making the power to issue move-on directions overly broad and an unnecessary restriction on political speech.*
Says a lot about the quality of all NSW state politicians
