- Former Greens leader Bob Brown has won his High Court bid to overturn Tasmania's anti-protest laws. The laws were passed in 2014 to allow police to stop protests before they had even stated if they were on a business premises or an access area. The court found the laws were at odds with the implied right in the Australian constitution, to the freedom of political communication.
The Tasmanian Government has been ordered to pay costs in the case.
