When

Why

Three laws.

One sustained attack on the right to protest.

The Western Australian Government is considering three separate anti-protest measures that could dramatically expand police powers, restrict peaceful protest, and make it harder for communities to speak out.

If passed, these laws could set a dangerous precedent for protest rights across Australia.

Join Australian Democracy Network and the Conservation Council of WA for a free online briefing to understand what's happening, why it matters, and how we can work together to protect protest.

Featuring speakers from:

  • Australian Democracy Network
  • Conservation Council of WA
  • Climate Defenders Australia

Whether you've attended a protest before or simply believe Australians should be free to speak out peacefully, this webinar will help you:

  • Unpack the three proposed laws currently before the WA Parliament
  • Learn why these changes matter
  • Hear from legal and advocacy experts
  • Find practical ways to take action together
