Ringwood electorate
Will FOWLES (Ringwood) (14:55): (1365) My constituency question is for the Minister for Police. My constituents in Ringwood have raised concerns about an individual engaging in unauthorised or attention-seeking activities in public spaces. These include impersonating an elected public official, attending live emergency incidents, the illegal capture and transport of native wildlife such as budgerigars and using dangerous machinery on median strips for the purpose of photo opportunities. What enforcement powers does Victoria Police have in relation to unauthorised public conduct of this nature, particularly where it may cause safety risks, nuisance, nausea or confusion for the community?
