I think you raise a good point. It would depend on the circumstances. Obviously, as the federal government, we're looking at the carriage service as being the point of intersection with the behaviour because, as you know, trespass law per se is a state issue. It would depend on the circumstance, but that could possibly be the case when the text for illegal action is sent once the peaceful protest had been called. That could be considered.
