A 22-year-old Queensland Senate candidate, Drew Pavlou, has been
arrested after holding a sign criticising Chinese President, Xi
Jinping in Eastwood.
Here is more on the
police power to arrest in NSW.
Pavlou is running for a spot in the Queensland Senate as part of
the 2022 Australian Federal election, as part of his party
'Drew Pavlou Democratic Alliance'.
Kyinzom Dhongdue is a member of the party and is running for the
House of Representatives as member for Bennelong, in New South
Wales.
An influential policy of the party is strengthening
Australia's democracy and aiming to address the 'increasing
totalitarian ambitions' of the Chinese Communist Party.
Bennelong includes areas within the Northern Sydney region
including Ryde, and parts of Hornsby and Parramatta including
Eastwood, Epping, Denistone, and Macquarie Park.
