Bathurst's $20m Insurance Rule Shifted 120-Person Brumby Protest

Bathurst Regional Council required organiser Mariella Gussoni to get $20m liability insurance — cover for injury — for an August rally against culling, or killing, of brumbies, wild horses, in Kosciuszko National Park. Expecting 120 people, she moved it to the footpath beside the park after notifying police. For small groups, such rules can decide where protest is possible.
