Pretty much all protest rights were stripped away in the last decade state by state, mostly as a reaction to environmental and climate protestets. Liberal and Labor both supported them. Only the Greens and some of the minor parties and independents were against them.

I believe the last ones were Adelaide. But before that it was Melbourne, Sydney, etc. Its fucked and the major parties have zero desire to change the situation as it suits them.
