A human rights activist who was expelled from Parliament House has ridiculed the Australian Federal Police's claims the incident never occurred.

Drew Pavlou was eating lunch with a friend in the public area of Parliament House when he was suddenly surrounded by several officers of the Australian Federal Police who asked him to leave the building.

Human rights activist Drew Pavlou was sensationally expelled from Parliament House. Picture: Keryn Stevens.“I was literally just having my lunch with two friends in between meetings with members.” I think it's just absolutely terrible, terrible for our democracy if someone can be flagged as high risk… simply because they have previously attended a protest,” he said.

“There are people that go into Parliament all the time to meet with MPs, they might be environmental activists, they might be union activists, they might be activists for all sorts of issues.”

Mr Pavlou says he has not heard from the Australian Federal Police “as to why I was expelled yesterday from the Parliament”. “I think it’s just absolutely terrible for our democracy if someone can be flagged as high risk as a protester simply because they’ve previously attended a protest before in their life and suddenly get thrown out of Parliament,” Mr Pavlou told Sky News host Andrew Bolt. “No one understands why I was designated high risk, why they designated me as this active protester when I was literally there just having my lunch with two friends in between meetings with MPs and senators. “I was officially invited by these MPs and senators.” awww thats so sad, he obviously didnt March up Northbourne avenue with the freedom fighters & get LRAD shot at him or have the 5 G towers ramped up so thst everyone in the EPIC camp ground got radistion burns.or have swat teams with shot guns protecting parliament house saturday DrewPavlou Another attention seeking snowflake There is a big book of words that some very hardworking people from Oxford put a lot of time into.
