Decline over time:
OTOH, don’t expect this to change anything here. The current ALP are almost as bad as the US Democrats, for much the same reasons.

The Tasmanian government is trying to ban “workplace protesting”, labelling it as “economic terrorism”.
What it’s primarily aimed at is shutting down any effective protest action against the logging industry, by defining the forests as workplaces and criminalising any “trespassing” there. It would also criminalise any sort of climate protest that obstructed vehicles (e.g. coal trains, mining trucks, oil tankers, construction machinery…). And, unless it includes specific exemptions for industrial disputes, it would also criminalise just about any effective strike action.
And how does the supposedly left ALP respond to this?
