Thousands of Victorians have taken to the streets of Melbourne to oppose the Victorian Labor governments controversial pandemic legislation.
The protest, which occurred on Oct. 30, met with a heavy police presence as protesters rallied out on the steps of state parliament to voice their concerns over new legislation—the Public Health and Wellbeing Amendment (Pandemic Management) Bill 2021 (pdf)—which has been described by Matthew Guy, leader of the opposition, as “draconian.”
