Australians Protest in Massive Numbers Against COVID-19 Mandates in Major Cities, by Mimi Nguyen Li

Protests keep building in Australia, and even without guns the Australians may light the fuse on a powder keg. From Mimi Nguyen Li at theepochtimes.com:

Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane among 13 cities with planned ‘freedom rallies’

Australians gathered in massive numbers across the country on Saturday in protest against COVID-19 vaccine mandates and other CCP virus pandemic restrictions in a wave of planned “freedom rallies.”

At least tens of thousands of people in Melbourne arrived at Flagstaff Gardens in large numbers for a rally. One man declared, while filming the peaceful march, “We’ve taken over the whole CBD.”

Prior to that, crowds gathered at parliament house before they proceeded through the city. Waving “kill the bill” placards and Australian flags, the demonstrators called to stop the Victoria state government’s controversial pandemic bill, which is currently being delayed in the upper house.

The crowd also called to “sack Dan Andrews,” the state premier, and to end the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus vaccine mandates or passports.

Melbourne has seen multiple protests in the past few weeks, with crowds gathering at the Victorian parliament in opposition to the pandemic bill. The controversial bill, if passed, would set a permanent framework for that state government to handle future pandemics.

Anti-Lockdown Protestors In Australia “Break Police Line” as Clashes Erupt, by Tyler Durden

Australian’s totalitarian government has pushed too far and people are starting to push back. From Tyler Durden at zerohedge.com:

Throughout the pandemic, Australia’s government has chosen to enact stringent restrictions to combat COVID-19. After the sixth lockdown since the pandemic began, anti-lockdown protesters in Melbourne have had enough with draconian virus measures and voiced their opposition in the streets on Saturday.

Their right to protest freely was quickly deemed illegal as a massive brawl between demonstrators and police broke out. More than 200 people in Melbourne were arrested at illegal anti-lockdown rallies, according to Reuters.

A rally in the Melbourne suburb of Richmond turned violent when police attempted to shut it down. Protesters broke through the police line in an epic fashion.

Coronavirus Video: Australians Chant “Freedom!” as Market is Shut Down by COVID Riot Cops, by Paul Joseph Watson

This kind of display is encouraging. The world needs a lot more of them. From Paul Joseph Watson at summitnews.com:

 

A remarkable video out of Australia shows people chanting “freedom!” as a food market is forcefully shut down by COVID riot cops.

The clip shows dozens of police on horseback and armed with riot gear facing off against market sellers and customers.

Chants of “freedom, freedom!” then break out as one officer directs the riot police to move in.

Cops armed with shields then begin charging and pushing people away while one man is singled out and dragged away by officers.

The state of Victoria has enforced one of the most draconian coronavirus lockdowns in the developed world, with authorities giving themselves the powers to enter homes without a warrant and also seize people’s children.

As we highlighted earlier this month, a pregnant woman was arrested in her home in front of her own kids for the crime of posting about the protest on Facebook.

Police in Melbourne also announced that they would be using surveillance drones to catch people who don’t wear masks and to keep track of cars that travel further than 5km from home.

Journalist Avi Yemini was also dragged to the ground and arrested for merely covering an anti-lockdown protest in Melbourne.

Numerous videos have also emerged of people being forcibly arrested by police for not wearing masks.
