> At least 12 people have been barred by Western Australia police from a security zone around the Land Forces weapons expo in Perth. Two activists and Greens MP Sophie McNeill say they will seek judicial review if the bans are not revised. Defying an exclusion order can bring a fine of up to $36,000 and three years in prison.
