This week on the program we look at changes to both the structure and culture of policing during COVID-19.

We speak with Tiffany Overall from Youthlaw about the implications of a new bill which will significantly expand the reach of Protective Service Officers in Victoria.

Moving to NSW, we speak with Charlie Murphy from Pride in Protest about the police response to an October 10 protest against new State legislation proposed by Mark Latham which aims to eliminate support for trans and gender diverse children in NSW’s school system.
