There would have to be evidence that they sought to incite. But I want to preface that by saying that every case will be different and it will be dealt with case by case. But there would have to be evidence that you sought to incite people to trespass—for instance, having a website where farming families' details were available publicly, talking about heading onto a poultry farm, a piggery, a beef feedlot et cetera at a given date and time et cetera to shut down this industry. That would be the sort of language and things that would have to be evidenced to prove inciting, but it would depend on each individual case.
