The street and the sidewalk are public places. They are not people's private homes. This is just a backdoor to making protests illegal.

    It's a totally stupid idea. Reminds me a lot of the British parliament banning protests within a 3km radius or something. Then there were also bans on anti-abortion protests, meaning that people can't even gather at Hagley Park here in Christchurch, which is across the damned street from the main hospital. It was a great spot because so many cars would see them, but now that's illegal because femi-nazis or something. It happened overseas first and then because we are a NATO vassal we had to copy their protest laws.
