Revoke the Community Protection Notice (CPN) power

Petition Details

We think the low threshold for CPN issue is unreasonable and unjust. Recipients may not be told of the evidence against them or asked for their side of the case.

Additional Information

We feel the process is stacked against the defendant who is presumed guilty at the outset. We feel authorities do not require sound evidence before issuing a CPN.

We think accusers may pursue a malicious course of conduct in safety from redress.

We think the appeal window is too narrow and does not allow for illness or hospitalisation of the recipient. There is no legal aid and appellants place themselves at risk of costs claims which may be prohibitive.

To date no government research has been commissioned into the functioning, justice or effectiveness of these powers.

We think this is a coercive power that is being used to victimise members of the public and should be revoked.
