Victoria Police Assistant Commissioner Luke Cornelius says he believes officers acted 'appropriately' when arresting the woman. 9News

"The government has gone to extreme measures and are using scare tactics through the media to prevent the Melbourne protest," the social media event read.A Victoria Police officer explained to Ms Buhler she was being arrested over a Facebook event she allegedly organised.

"We're satisfied in those circumstances the members behaved appropriately and in accordance with our policy," he said. "Our members did everything they could to both secure their safety and the safety of the people involved but also to assist this individual with her concerns." Victoria Police have issued a stark warning to anyone considering attending the event, claiming the protest would put lives at risk.

"We all look forward to the day when restrictions can be eased. If people continue to behave in ways which will spread the virus, that day will be pushed out. And any roadmap or pathway to a return to a degree of normalcy is going to be deferred by those behaviours."By all means, protest online. Be the keyboard warrior."

how appropriately,maybe in Nazi germany under Hitler

Is Luke Cornelius really one of Victoria police’s finest? Whole world has condemned his policing. Commander who sent officers to arrest Zoe was at fault. Officers who arrested her should have detected their action was inappropriate. It’s not Victorians who are “bat shit crazy”

Morons! Tyranny starts somewhere.....the public are just sheep!

Yet Cornelius said for the massive BLM/ Left protests in June: “We’ll use our discretion .. we’re not going to play Robo Cop.”

How can Victorians trust the judgement and word of anyone in Police Command. They do everything they can to avoid facing up to their criminal acts. The average Joe would already be in front of the courts for perverting the course of justice... not VicPol !

She obviously wasn't concerned for her unborn's health by promoting the protest, but quick to use it in her defence for being arrested. No sympathy whatsoever!!

If there was a warrant issued for her arrest, then she was arrested correctly, politely and in the manner in which the Australian police operate. Perhaps she'll learn that being an actual prawnhead is not acceptable in the middle of a pandemic.

This is what happens when you close our mental institutions . There in the community now

Enjoy your indefinite servitude Melbourne..

Why, they're just 'peaceful protesters' right?

We have a federal biosecurity act 2015, DanielAndrewsMP VictorianCHO & VictoriaPolice are in violation of this act & are acting illegally against ALL healthy citizens and they acting illegally against the sick, as they have not issued biosecurity acts against each individual

'appropriate' if you are living under a tyrannical government... oh wait... Victorians are
