Given the rules of the game laid down by Morrie Dilemma and his friends — How the NSW government has made World Youth Day into a problem — Ninglun Fashions of Surry Hills has come up with a range of tasteful plain t-shirts that may perhaps be acceptable under the special law.
EXTRAORDINARY new powers will allow police to arrest and fine people for “causing annoyance” to World Youth Day participants…
…The laws, which operate until the end of July, have the potential to make a crime of wearing a T-shirt with a message on it…People who fail to comply will be subject to a $5500 fine…
And if none of them appeal,
design your own!

UPDATE 16 July
It is safe to wear that t-shirt now: Court backs WYD activists’ right to annoy.
