In case you missed it, protesters stormed into the Melbourne CBD last night calling for the resignation of Premier Daniel Andrews and “freedom” just hours after Victoria’s snap lockdown was announced.
Assistant Commissioner Luke Cornelius said some of the protesters are known to Victoria Police for previously instigating so-called freedom rallies. One sergeant was pushed to the ground and allegedly kicked by a protester, causing minor injuries. The assault, the use of flares and the vandalisation of a police car has sparked criminal investigations.
Yesterday, NSW recorded its highest number of cases so far in the pandemic with 262 new infections. There were also five deaths. Anyone who attended the above venues within the relevant times is considered a close contact and must get tested and isolate for 14 days, regardless of the result. “With increased mandatory testing requirements in place for freight workers across multiple jurisdictions, we have seen unprecedented demand on our freight testing sites, so opening Sydney’s first site tomorrow will be very welcome news.”
