Thousands of protesters are threatening to swarm a regional Victorian city and “reclaim” the Eureka flag in reaction to state’s vaccine mandate and new pandemic laws.

Ballarat police said they expected disruptions in the Ballarat CBD and in Bakery Hill on Sunday afternoon, with Mair Street, Peel Street, Victoria Street, Curtis Street, Little Bridge Street, Sturt Street and Lydiard Street to be affected from about midday to 5pm.

The Ballarat protest comes after tens of thousands of protesters swarmed Melbourne’s CBD on Saturday, calling for “power to the people” and “freedom of choice” over vaccination mandates. The passing of the state government’s controversial pandemic management bill this week fuelled this weekend’s protests, with attendees chanting “kill the bill” and “sack Dan Andrews”.

Protesters have been chanting for Premier Daniel Andrews to be sacked. Picture: NCA NewsWire / Andrew Henshaw The legislation, which passed the upper house on Thursday, will shift the responsibility from the chief health officer to the Premier and Health Minister, who will be able to declare pandemics and issue health orders.More to come.

😂😂😂😂😂 only in Melbourne. These are probably the same coconuts that cycled nude through the city on the weekend. They are certainly devoid of intelligent life down there.

Threatening? 🤣🤣🤣🤣 stupid journo!

S.h.o.c.k.i.n.g.

absolute morons

Absolute morons

Found them

They blindly follow powerful union busting billionaires and terrorise workers, and want to spread disease to Ballarat and claim the Eureka flag. They're turning it into the Australian version of the Confederate War Flag or the Nazi War Flag.

Right wing agitators misusingthe eureka flag.

Disrespectful, disgusting behaviour.

Oh just hurry up and go away ! And stop giving their idiocy a platform to continue disrupting Victorians who have MOVED on, Grrrrrr newsmedia

Cuckoo

Nappy consumption will go through the roof😎

STOP reporting on these minority crackpots!

Take those Trump flags back to America!! This is Australia!!!

I spoke to a local bloke today who had been on a recent protest march and he said it was totally peaceful. The whole thing has been misrepresented by the media who seem to be only on the governments side. Also, the sheer size of these protest marches is not reported either.

freeeeeeeeedom!!!

We’re heading to Ballarat in an hour or so staying for a few days to take in the Linda McCarney exhibition and Sovereign Hill. Dining out tonight in one of the excellent restaurants in Ballarat hope these idiots don’t impact on our plans

I feel like there needs to be some roadworks and track works next weekend

It’s Ballarat and they are welcome. Providing they protest peacefully there is no problem.

As protesters prepare to 'reclaim the flag', Eureka's 167yo legacy remains contestedEver since blood was shed at the Eureka Stockade in 1854 the spirit of the rebellion and its iconic flag have been co-opted by groups of all stripes. As today's anniversary in Ballarat shows, the controversy is alive and well. If it wasn't for White European Settlers, their wouldn't be any Indigenous people. Apologies Accepted That's the thing about RWNJs 'reclaiming' anything, most the time they haven't researched the history and they are ignorant FTs Where is the 'SOUTHERN CROSS'?
