The Police Association says clarification around protest laws are long overdue.
An Independent Police Conduct Authority report makes several recommendations for laws which would protect protestor rights and ensure public safety.
One law would let police and local authorities set conditions in advance about how a protest may be carried out.
Police Association President Chris Cahill told Mike Hosking that will be helpful for police and protesters alike.
He says that would set clear guidelines for behaviour.
Cahill says Destiny Church is a good example of a group which often steps over the line.
