西澳大利亚警方根据新近生效的立法，禁止至少12名活动人士进入珀斯武器展览会周围的安全区域1。该展览会定于10月6日举行，安全区域从Elizabeth Quay公交车站延伸至珀斯会议展览中心，覆盖时间跨度为10天1。
被禁名单中的活动人士包括本地倡导者Matilda Lane-Rose和Will Shanahan，以及来自墨尔本的Violet Coco和Brad Homewood等人1。违反禁令将面临严厉处罚，最高罚款可达36,000澳元，并可被判处3年监禁1。这一权力源自《土地防务（特殊权力）法案》，该法案于上月通过，赋予警方扩大的搜查权和禁止进入特定安全区域的权力1。
活动人士Matilda Lane-Rose和Will Shanahan随后宣布将寻求司法审查，声称这一禁令侵犯了和平抗议权1。本次展览的参展方包括以色列最大武器公司Elbit Systems的澳大利亚子公司和Rafael Advanced Defense Systems1。
Western Australian police have banned at least 12 activists from entering a security zone surrounding the Perth Convention and Exhibition Centre during a weapons expo scheduled for October 6 1. The restricted area extends from Elizabeth Quay bus station to the convention centre and will remain in effect for 10 days 1.
The prohibition was authorized under the Land Defense (Special Powers) Act 2026, legislation passed last month that grants police expanded search powers and authority to restrict access to designated security zones 1. Activists facing the ban, including Matilda Lane-Rose and Will Shanahan, have announced plans to pursue judicial review, arguing the restriction infringes on their right to peaceful protest 1. Green Party MP Sophie McNeill has similarly opposed the measure 1.
Violation of the ban carries severe penalties, with offenders subject to fines up to A$36,000 and potential imprisonment for up to three years 1. Among those prohibited from the area are Melbourne-based activists Violet Coco and Brad Homewood 1. The weapons exposition will feature exhibitors including Elbit Systems' Australian subsidiary—Israel's largest weapons manufacturer—and Rafael Advanced Defense Systems 1.
