Anti-fascist found guilty of affray II Peir Moro talks about his recent court case resulting from his suffering an assault at the hands of fascists on the night of a demonstration against  Milo Yiannopoulos on December 4, 2017 at the foot of the Kensington flats. Shockingly Pier from found guilty of affray, assault (2) and rioting with his defense of self defence not accepted. He was fined $2,000 without conviction.

This seems to reflect the current government's widing the definition of crimes such as affray.
They have given direction to Magistrates and Judges to be stricter in their interpretations.
This means Pier could be found not guilty of assault, but still found guilty of affray by being part of a melee and/or by my actions 'frightening' people.
