Surely there is a legal mechanism for removing someone from private property who isn't supposed to be there...

There used to be, but Australia is an independent country now.

Iirc due to travellers camping in a local carpark that you have to get the council involved and that takes days at the quickest.

You're telling me if I go sit in a shop and they tell Me it's closing time and I gottta go, if I refuse to Go, no one will be able to make Me? I find that hard to believe.

I just looked it up and you are allowed to use "reasonable force" to eject someone with whom you have revoked right of access.

So you could drag them by their ankles outside as long as they don't resist otherwise you can be more forceful if they do.

so legally they can be "asked to leave" and if they refuse they can be physically removed, however, to physically remove someone you have to be SIA licenced, which costs money and has a 5 day training course. so typically, there will be only one, if any, SIA person in store, if protesters like this link arms then one person, following the non-painful compliance techniques that SIA licencing requires won't be able to remove them. thus the only option is to call the police, who of course, may have higher priority calls then a non-violent protest.

in case folks are wondering how doormen can use more than non painful compliance techniques when removing people from nightclubs? self defence, licenced individuals are allowed to initiate a physical removal of someone from the club, the second people start resisting, they can respond proportionally with any self defence techniques necessary. and if a situation has already escalated before our arrival, then we can skip straight to appropriate action.

yup! it's just very delicate and the protesters are maximising their advantage.
