Liberal Democratic Party MP David Limbrick has called for fines issued at the Nov. 3 anti-lockdown rally in Melbourne to be rescinded because protesters were “falsely imprisoned” while being charged for breaching the Chief Health Officer’s (CHO) orders.
During a “Freedom Day” rally outside Victoria’s parliament house last week victorian police forcefully surrounded protesters using an enforcement tactic called “kettling”, arresting 404 individuals and issuing 395 fines for alleged CHO breaches including for gathering in groups larger than 10.
