Preferred term

mass nonviolent protest in Australia  

Definition

  • Citizens invoke mass nonviolent protest when they are blocked from successfully communicating their messages to government, either because of a government's hostility to the message or because governments feel that such ideas are not supported by a sufficiently large section of the population. Mass protest serves either to pressure the government to change policy or to heighten awareness of the issue among the general population in order to effect policy changes. [Source: Encyclopedia of Political Communication; Mass Nonviolent Protest, Australia]
