I am afraid I do not have a date for that legislation. The Minister, Deputy Harris, and the Attorney General are working on it but we are running into real difficulties in the context of restricting peaceful protest and free speech. While we all abhor and disagree with the protests being engaged in - at least, most of us do - we enter a difficult space in a democracy when we decide that certain opinions cannot be held and particular types of protests cannot happen.
