Limitations on making public safety order
43 Limitations on making public safety order
(1) A senior police officer must not make a public safety order prohibiting a person or class of persons from being present at premises if the officer reasonably believes the likely reason for the person or members of the class of persons being present at the premises is non‑violent advocacy, protest, dissent or industrial action.
(2) Except in accordance with an authorisation order, a senior police officer must not:
(a) make a public safety order with a restriction period exceeding 72 hours; or
(b) make a public safety order in relation to a person (other than a person who is a member of a declared organisation) or class of persons if the person or class of persons has been restricted, within the immediately preceding period of 72 hours, from being present at particular premises by another public safety order.
