Ignoring official warnings and public health orders, several hundred people gathered at an illegal protest v promoted by several virus related conspiracy theory groups online — calling for an end to lockdown measures. Two protesters were seen raising their arms in a Nazi salute at officers and yelling “Heil Dan”, comparing the state of Victoria's premier Daniel Andrews to Adolf Hitler, while standing on the forecourt of the Shrine of Remembrance — a war memorial which partly commemorates Australians killed fighting in World War II.Officers said they issued 160 fines for breaching health orders and were expecting to hand out more in coming days.
“We are in a city where the cure from Daniel Andrews is actually worse than what's happening,” protester Fiona Kat said.
