A major move from Victoria Police will see all public transport suspended heading to Melbourne in a bid to block anti-lockdown protesters from entering the city.

A global freedom day rally has been planned in Melbourne on Saturday nearly a month after another anti-lockdown protest with up to 5,000 attendees ended in violence.

Between 8am and 2pm all buses will bypass the CBD, while trams will be returned to their junctions and trains will avoid the city. Police will also be patrolling public transport on the city’s fringes to ensure passengers are lawfully travelling. “The whole cohort of people who are about freedom don’t seem to respect the freedoms of others. I would urge anybody whose considering coming in to protest, in the first instance do not come.

If COVID weddings are so stressful, why get married at all?Opinion: If weddings are expensive and near impossible to plan in a COVID world, why put ourselves through the stress? It’s a question I’m tired of being asked | mel_buttigieg mel_buttigieg Restricting your most important day to a governments demands? Sounds like hell to me. mel_buttigieg Seriously though. Put that $40k towards 6 months overseas. Lord knows you’re going to need it. Do you really want to immediately go BACK to lockdown? Go with your partner, take time off, do something! You have your whole lives to get married. Go experience life instead mel_buttigieg Personally I enjoyed the symbolism of our wedding day. The public declaration of our love and commitment to each other in front of close family and friends was powerful to me. It was an amazing day and didn't cost anywhere near what you say the average is.
