Legal Challenge Against Melbourne's Expanded Stop and Search Powers
Update: 2025-12-08
Description
A legal challenge against Victoria Polices expanded stop and search powers in Melbournes CBD and surrounding areas is underway. Community organizer Tarneen Onus Browne and performance artist Benny Zable, represented by the Human Rights Law Centre, argue that these powers violate Victorias Charter of Human Rights and Responsibilities. The challenge seeks to have the designation ruled invalid and declare unconstitutional the polices power to order face covering removal at protests. The Human Rights Law Centre aims for a ruling before January twenty-sixth to ensure the Invasion Day protest can proceed without undue police interference.
