When are these idiots going to realise the sooner the wave dies down the sooner businesses can start operating?

I’m having difficulty working out which are the fruit and which are the vegetables.

Unfortunately, people give DanielAndrewsMP what he wants so that he can roll out heavy handed riot police to distract from the fact that it was his and his cabal's inability to contain the cases in the first place. Don't make it so easy for him... ResignDanielAndrews

I thought the Vietnam War was over –and Conscription had been abolished?

The Victorian governments response to this protest is out of all proportion and very alarming. This should not be happening in a democracy. VictoriaMarket DanielAndrewsMP

ABC news and all news Ask mayor of Melbourne my question and share with, premier this is video and society thanks please visit this is all link's video. ( 2 ) ( 3 )

DanielAndrewsMP presiding over a broken city and new police state. This will be his legacy.

Sadly our media are cheering on this obvious expansion of the security state. They don't care, owned by corrupt governments and dodgy elites.

If only these self centered selfish people protesting about the pandemic & actions to keep the our society safe could be exchanged with refugees.

Spreading their germs

Dans Nazis have arrived .... Heil Dan Andrews

favfavalore I'm pretty sure that if i) the Queen Vic Markets are open and ii) the protesters are at said markets, then their 'Freedom!!!' is not being impinged upon.

As most of the city does what is needed to get this virus under control, we have to deal with a pack of selfish, attention-seeking fools that can't comprehend the intersection of virulence and exponential maths. Sheesh.

VictoriaPolice deserve FREE doughnuts from the market for managing these fruity-loops!

These selfish individuals screaming freedom to be able to be infected with Covid 19 and infect others have no regard for the rest of society their individual freedoms are overridden by the many IStandWithDan

Whether it’s groups of protestors or groups of police, does it matter?

Good.

Bloody idiots!

Somebody should point out to the idiots that in many countries marching and shouting out' freedom' or ' power to the people' would lead to a stretch in a labour camp or execution. Honestly, some people need a reality check on how lucky they are to be living here.

I think anger and frustration is rising and I think over the next few months we are more than likely going to be seeing protests everywhere world wide. It's not just about CV and lockdowns. I think it is only going to get louder. Zah 💭?

Police.... This has to STOP IMMEDIATELY.... Please enforce the emergency health laws FULLY & IMMEDIATELY

Far right importing US madness.

That's one way to describe this nightmare

man I'm not condoning the action but those police officers are tightly bunched in the video footage on a road if you know what i mean

Round them up and place them in a field somewhere, away from all the people that want the numbers to go down ASAP and are doing the correct thing by staying home

Well done guys

Doing a great job VictoriaPolice THANKYOU!

Pfft!

Dozens 😂😂😂

So brave those men, facing down unarmed people protesting their civil rights. How lucky we are to have entered the age of Australian fascism with these men there to control us

please stop giving them the reasons for what they are doing. police is just enforcing laws. whether the laws are for the right or wrong reasons is not a judgement for them to make. if the government says jail or use force on protesters, they will just follow. it is that simple.

It is highly disappointing that our police are still having to deal with such irresponsible minorities. Yesterday UK had 3,600 new infections while France had 10,900. Their second waves have truly started & they will be devastating. Australia & Australians learn the lessons.

These people cause me so much anxiety. It's like almost getting to other side of a fragile rope bridge with a deadly drop below and they're busy cutting the ropes.

DictatorDan proving again that he has no time for protecting the liberty of Victorians, and is desperate to shut down all dissent to his agenda. It is NOT illegal to protest.

Troglodytes ...... what does chanting ‘freedom’ and ‘Power to the people’ even mean. What was the meaning of this protest, what did organizers want to achieve? Up the fines.....

This creeping fascism has to stop. The eyes of the world are watching the massive over reaction of this tin pot tyrant. Meanwhile, his supporters are providing historical enactments of how the Nazis came to power. The people republic is an anti-Australian mess.

Ridiculous

Really feel sorry for the police having to spend their weekends confronting these sovereign citizens with their assorted conspiracy theories. The poor stall holders and customers! The protesters are extending the restrictions for everyone.

Im sick of lockdown just like every other Melburnian but these protests have to stop, they only give reasons to extended lockdown not remove it quicker 😩
