Three of four protesters avoid conviction for pro-Gaza protest on the roof of Parliament House
Four protesters who scaled the roof of Parliament House in Canberra in July have been sentenced in the ACT Magistrates Court.
In short:
Three of the four protesters who pleaded guilty to trespassing on Commonwealth property as part of a pro-Gaza protest at Parliament House in June have escaped criminal convictions.
The fourth was given a 12-month good-behaviour bond after the group scaled the roof of the building and unfurled protest signs.
A full review of Parliament House security was ordered after the actions of the protesters, who the Prime Minister said at the time should "feel the full force of the law".
Cosmologically what is 'the full force of the law'?
