Event

Anti-abortion activists plan to protest at Parliament House in Perth, Western Australia, from 18:30 May 17. Up to a few hundred people could attend the demonstration.

Authorities will likely monitor the protest and may try to disperse the gathering if it is especially disruptive. Skirmishes between protesters and police are possible, mainly if activists attempt to breach security cordons near the Parliament House. Protesters may march along roadways, causing localized transport disruptions.

Advice

Avoid the protest due to possible skirmishes. If violence breaks out, leave the area immediately. Follow all security personnel instructions. Allow additional travel time near the gathering.
