In short:

Three of the four protesters who pleaded guilty to trespassing on Commonwealth property as part of a pro-Gaza protest at Parliament House in June have escaped criminal convictions.

The fourth was given a 12-month good-behaviour bond after the group scaled the roof of the building and unfurled protest signs.

A full review of Parliament House security was ordered after the actions of the protesters, who the Prime Minister said at the time should "feel the full force of the law".
