Actually the emergency powers declaration specifically excludes indigenous people - that is, they can protest, but others can’t.
- radford-neal 5y agoI think this is a misinterpretation. The exemption applies only to the new regulations regarding entry to the country, probably because there are some cross-border reserves. It is, however, very likely that these new powers will be applied selectively, not according to how disruptive protesters are, but according to whether their message is congenial to those in power.
