Victoria will legislate to ‘thwart’ protests at places of worship while banning masks and flags (Guardian, 2024-12-17)
"The Victorian government’s proposed crackdown on protests has been criticised as a severe limitation on the right to participate in demonstrations, despite being backed by some Jewish groups.
"The Allan government on Tuesday announced protesting could be banned outside places of worship – while face masks and certain flags could be prohibited at other demonstrations – under proposed legislation announced in response to an arson attack on a Melbourne synagogue.
“The premier … announced a suite of legislative proposals to crack down on what she said was antisemitism and extremism at protests. This included a ban on the flags of listed terrorist organisations including Hamas, Hezbollah and white nationalist extremist groups.”

A propos “Hamas Flag”, cf. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Flag/_of/_Hamas.svg
Note: “… there is a confusion about the Hamas flag. One is white with Hamas emblem* on it, and the military branch’s flag is green with a shahada?”
