Tasmania Police were present at a planned protest in Salamanca today to ensure public safety and maintain order as two opposing groups came together in the area.
Police enforced separation between the groups throughout the event, and the Public Order Management Team (POMT) was deployed as a precautionary measure to assist with crowd management.
The majority of attendees behaved lawfully, and no arrests were made.
Tasmania Police acknowledges and respects the democratic right of individuals to protest. However, when a protest or demonstration has the potential to impact public safety, police have a duty to take appropriate action to protect the community.
