The City of Melbourne has been threatening to fine people protesting against the treatment of refugees and asylum seekers under bylaws designed to stop buskers disturbing the peace.
Victoria Police officers have worked with council officers to penalise the protesters under a little-known bylaw that restricts the use of "excessive noise" that is "capable of interfering with the reasonable comfort of any person who may be in the vicinity of [a] public place".
