I assure Senator Mullen that he is safe in his coffee shop. That is not covered by the legislation and such a situation would not arise. The meaning of the phrase "express or demonstrate" is very clearly, and in a nuanced way, set out and categorised under subsection (2). The latter describes exactly what is included, for the purpose of subsection (1), within the phrase "express or demonstrate". It includes behaviour such as persistent, continuous or repeated actions and interfering with, intimidating, harassing or trying to persuade or inform somebody. It is not about a person expressing his or her opinion.
