After mass arrests at an anti-lockdown protest at the weekend, a fringe political group has come up with a new way to protest against Premier Daniel Andrews from home.
After mass arrests at an anti-lockdown protest over the weekend, fringe political group Victoria Forward, run by 19-year-old Trump supporter and Liberal Party member Edward Bourke, created a Facebook event called “Give Dan The Boot: Protest From Home”.“It‘s time to stand up to Daniel Andrews, and now you can do it from home,” the event description reads.
The recent and highly publicised arrests of protest organisers in recent weeks appear to have come into consideration, with a disclaimer at the end of the description noting the protest was “100 per cent compliant with COVID-19 guidelines, protecting participants from police involvement”. Last month, the pregnant organiser of a separate protest was arrested in her pyjamas at her home for incitement, with footage of the incident going viral on social media.

Victoria's roadmap out is a 'pathway to economic despair' | Sky News AustraliaVictorian Premier Daniel Andrews’ roadmap out of lockdown is leading Melbourne further down a path of misery and economic crisis, according to Liberal MP Tony Pasin. \n\nMr Pasin told Sky News the roadmap was a “car crash” which “evaporated” any hope Melburnians might have had of being released from the state’s strict coronavirus measures. \n\n“The reality is this is a pathway to significant economic despair,” he said. \n\n“The cost of that is not going to be visited on just Victorians, it’s going to be visited on all Australians.”\n\nHe said the mental well-being of Victorians was a serious concern, especially as the Premier had flagged some restrictions could potentially linger in Melbourne until February. \n\n“I’m starting to be very concerned that unless we get this right, unless we tailor the economic adjustments correctly, many more people will die as a consequence of the restrictions than have died as a result of COVID,” Mr Pasin said.\n\n“It’s a really difficult thing when hope has been removed and you start thinking about your long term future.” \n\nImage: Getty \n
