Chaotic scenes have emerged from Melbourne of protesters bursting through police lines covered in capsicum spray while a violent fight broke out at Queensland’s Freedom Day rally.

Protesters clashed with police, screaming at officers to let the man go. After the incident, heavily armed quads and special units were deployed to monitor crowds.

Queensland currently has light restrictions in place while Melbourne and Ballarat are under tough lockdowns due to high COVID-19 cases. Multiple people were arrested at Sydney Park, which is being patrolled by dozens of officers to prevent protesters from gatherings.

Deliberate antagonising police tactics. Absolutely unwarranted. But Dan need to feed his drips.

What are those idiots trying to prove? Just hurry up and get a jab. It's just another modern vaccine we are lucky to have that will save us from disease and death unlike plague eras. Honestly there is no choice. Choose life. Or just leave them behind.

And in 6 months time you will still be un-vaxxed having your parades down the street while I'm sipping cocktails on a beach in Bali, suckers

There was a protest in Brisbane as well. But no heavy handed police cordons or roadblocks, and everything seems to have gone smoothly. There is no excuse for any aggression by protesters, but the police were not faultless here. We don't want to see these tactics in Victoria.

covid will sort it out. The police being their is pointless unless they are protecting property. Nice to see the protestors no being pussies even though I mostly disagree with them

they sent out police women to stop the thugs. didn't work. time to get serious.
