Increased police presence could escalate JPP tensions
Australian Greens Senator Rachel Siewert says a build up of police numbers in Broome is a heavy handed response to ongoing opposition to development at James Price Point.
“The dramatic increase in police numbers in Broome will only create more tension and suspicion in the community,” Senator Siewert said today.
“This approach is heavy handed and mirrors the Premier's ongoing behaviour in regards to the James Price Point development. If anything, this has the potential to escalate matters in Broome.
