00:02Preparations for thousands of delegates and weapons and military equipment manufacturers
00:07at Perth's Convention Centre. Special powers now in place for police to stop and search,
00:13confiscate items, request ID and exclude and evict people from the security area.
00:18I think any security measures or any safety measures put in place is reasonable.
00:24They've got to protect something that's important I suppose.
00:26I think searching, yeah, that's definitely over the top.
00:29We want people to protest if that's what they consider is important.
00:32This is a democracy, they have the right to protest, it's just important they do it respectfully and safely.
00:38A protest planned just outside the exclusion zone.
00:41We've made it very clear that the last thing we want to see is violent scenes like we saw in
00:46Melbourne.
00:47Ms McNeil's staffer, Matilda Lane Rose, one of the people excluded from the event area,
00:52after meeting what police say is the high threshold of posing a serious safety threat.
00:57She was one of three climate activists fined for attempting to spray political messages on former Woodside CEO Meg O
01:05'Neill's home in Perth.
01:06Claiming a win after filing a legal challenge and police relented, now allowing her to enter the event area for
01:13work.
01:14The government and the police commissioner should face scrutiny in their use of these extraordinary powers.
01:21This decision by the WA police represents a vindication of Ms Lane Rose's rights.
01:27Police wouldn't comment directly on Matilda Lane Rose's case, but in a statement officers said they can consider granting limited
01:34access to banned people.
01:35If they're satisfied, they won't pose a safety risk to others.
01:39Premier Roger Cook says the laws are the same as at Chogham in 2011 and important to keeping the community
01:45safe.
01:46.
01:46Let's wait to call 0 perhaps
