Police harassment in Perth
Government house in Perth is the residence of the State Governor; in Australia Governor is a largely symbolic position except that in a crisis the Governor has the power to fire the State government and call an election. Umbrella group has been staging a quiet unobtrusive protest on the street outside Government house for the past two or so years.
Police have lately been harrassing the protesters; some have been arrested — they claim the protesters are guilty of harassment. This behaviour by authorities impeding and intimidating political protesters is a violation of Australian law.
