Victoria recorded 65 new local cases of coronavirus on the first day of their state-wide lockdown.
The state recorded 61 new cases on Saturday - 39 of whom were infectious in the community, prompting the Andrews government to plunge the whole of Victoria into lockdown, including regional areas.
"This virus has made its way from Sydney to New Zealand for heaven's sake, we therefore shouldn't be having any of these debates about whether the whole of regional Victoria is at risk." Police say while there were some peaceful protesters in attendance, a majority of those"came with violence in mind".
