Australians in the state of Victoria gathered in the streets over the weekend to protest the ongoing vaccine mandates in the state, as well as the approval of legislation that would give the Victorian government unprecedented pandemic-related powers.
Thousands took to the streets of Melbourne for the fifth Saturday in a row to voice their opposition against the contentious measure, the Public Health and Wellbeing Amendment (Pandemic Management) Bill 2021, which officially passed the upper house of state Parliament on Dec. 2 following lengthy debate and multiple amendments.
