Anti-lockdown protesters are expected to gather in Melbourne today on Sept 12 in what authorities say is an unlawful, selfish exercise that could spread COVID-19 virus.

The Melbourne Freedom Walk is scheduled for 11am at the Tan running track on the edge of the Botanical Gardens, according to social media. There may also be protests in other locations.
