We seek a change in the law, whereby any march or demonstration that requires a police presence, the cost must be borne by the attendees and the organisers, not the taxpayer.

Require protesters and police to be easily identifiable during protests
We want Parliament to require protesters to not cover their faces at protests and to ban police from covering badge numbers to ensure both protesters and police can be easily identifiable. We believe this ensures accountability for violence or excessive force, protecting peaceful, lawful protest.
Ban paid protesting
We want paid protesting to be criminalised. We think it is insincere, immoral, and is little more than an act of paying people to create public nuisances, antagonise current protests and falsely sway public opinion.
Uneven parking enforcement at major events
During a major event, permit holders are charged for parking while event visitors park freely without enforcement. No parking wardens were present despite the large gathering.
Review rules, policing and harm of marches
We want Government to review stricter permits for and costs of policing disruptive marches, penalties for organisers of protests where antisemitic or extremist activity takes place, and the policing, economic and community harm caused by protests.
Legislate to ban participants wearing face coverings at demonstrations
Government should introduce legislation to make it an offence to attend a demonstration or counter-demonstration wearing face coverings. All participants should be showing their faces, or, be arrested so that they can be identified.
