Mandate police to use S61 to move illegal encampments from unauthorised sites

National

Mandate police to use Section 61 (CJPOA 1994) to move illegal encampments as soon as relevant legal thresholds are met. Police must direct trespassers to leave, arrest those who refuse, and seize caravans and vehicles used in the occupation, without discretion.
