The zone will apply 24 hours a day, seven days a week.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Within those zones, prohibited behaviours will include:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><em>harassing, intimidating and threatening a person accessing premises at which abortions are provided;<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>communicating by any means in relation to abortion in a manner that can be seen or heard by a person accessing the premises and is reasonably likely to cause distress or anxiety;<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>impeding a footpath, road or vehicle without reasonable excuse, in relation to abortion;<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>recording by any means, without reasonable excuse, another person accessing premises at which abortions are provided, without that other person&#8217;s consent.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Bill also prohibits a person from publishing and distributing recordings of another person accessing premises at which abortions are provided, if the recording could identify that person, without their consent or reasonable excuse.
