Refusing to pay police for protection - Dave Pellowe on 3AW Mornings with Neil Mitchell

Neil Mitchell asked me why my "commercial event" should be any different from the AFL with 100,000 people and police everywhere. The question assumes the facile premise offered by the Andrews government, and that is that all commercial events are equal. This is absurd. An event with 100,000 people presents inherent logistical problems in itself. Traffic management issues are the most obvious, as well as the statistical probability of the kind of people that need police behavioural support being in a crowd that large.

A private function with 800 people in a venue that regular hosts such sized crowds with no need for police resources is by its nature entirely different. The only reason police resources are needed at political events is because of the imminent threat posed by extremists determined to use fear and violence to further their own political goals.

Sorry, Neil, but comparing the AFL to a political event only has tickets being sold in common, and that’s it.

No other state government or police had the temerity to quote & impose an intimidating fee on the Molyneux & Southern events for doing their job. Western Australia also has legislation which provides for “user pays” policing, but it sensibly has a floor of applicability to events expecting over 5,000 people - confirming the obvious differences between stadium events and 800 people hearing a speech in a function venue.

Only in Victoria are political events organisers slugged with the bill for being the victims of domestic terrorism.

When the most irrational people, people prepared to be more violent than the police, have an extra incentive to use intimidation, fear and violence as tactics to achieve their political agenda because of a bureaucratic law, you know it’s a bad law that urgently needs to be changed.
