Policing the Pandemic Forum

01/05/2020

The Public Interest Advocacy Centre Ltd invite you to join PIAC CEO Jonathon Hunyor in conversation with a panel of legal experts and civil society representatives at this special lunch time zoom forum.

Government responses to the COVID-19 pandemic have included severe and unprecedented restrictions on our movement and use of public space. For the first time, many people who have never before been the subject of police scrutiny, find themselves confronted with the reality that faces groups who are historically over-policed.

What powers do police actually have and how are they being used? Should we be concerned? And how are these measures impacting on different communities and groups, including rough sleepers and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people?
