I don't know why they have a special mall law.

Australia, being based on British Law has a version of "behaviour likely to occasion a breach of the peace"

He's hooked on the "obstruction" part, which is not a necessary part of the law.

Under such laws if your behaviour is likely to cause *someone else to chimp out* no matter how reasonable you are being, you can be asked to move on, as in this case, or arrested - also as in this case.
