'A huge drain': Push for protesters to pay for police shut down
In short:
The government has effectively killed a bill to introduce legislation that would charge protest groups for police fees if they held more than three demonstrations a year.
The bill was reintroduced following the weekend's pro-Palestinian march over Sydney Harbour Bridge, which drew crowds of over 100,000 people.
Two Labor MPs told the ABC there was also "heated" debate about a motion on Gaza during caucus on Tuesday.
