Victoria Police are already out in force as they brace for a planned anti-lockdown rally in and around Melbourne’s CBD on Saturday afternoon.

Despite the closure of main roads and suspension of public transport into the city, protesters are still planning on following through with the rally, slammed by Premier Daniel Andrews as selfish.

Police have set up a ring of steel around the CBD to deter the planned rally. Picture: David CroslingSome earlier said the planned site had to be changed to give police the slip, while others argued they needed to “stand up” to the authorities. Chief Commissioner Shane Patton said Saturday’s protest was ‘the biggest game in town’ for police.

With a whopping 535 cases, I'd say that the top priority for Daniel Andrews is to get this outbreak under control. And stop blaming people from watching sunsets or wanting to play in playgrounds.
