Join us at 5pm on Thursday 11 June for a free community hui to write submissions opposing move-on orders, with your local MP Tamatha Paul and organisations working on the frontline. We'll support you with all the resources and information you need to make your submission - if you would prefer to make your submission online then bring your laptop along!

The Summary Offences (Move-on Orders) Amendment Bill gives Police broad powers to remove people, as young as 14, from public spaces for up to 24 hours - even when no crime has been committed. It essentially criminalises poverty and targets people who are homeless, begging, or simply seen as “disruptive,” while expanding police powers to detain and demand personal information. Failing to comply can lead to fines, and breaching a move-on order carries penalties of up to 3 months imprisonment or a $2,000 fine.
