Violent spectators will face a lifetime ban from multiple sporting codes under a new policy by the New South Wales government.
The bans will extend across all levels and leagues, along with different sporting codes, according to the state's sport minister, Steve Kamper.
Mr Kamper said the recent violence at a Men's Premier League match in Padstow, which left referee Khodr Yaghi with a broken jaw, was the catalyst for change.
