Thousands of Australians frustrated with COVID-19 lockdowns and vaccine mandates mobilised across the country on Tuesday for planned mostly peaceful and silent protests in front of government buildings.
A flyer circulating on Telegram stated, “Enough is enough,” and called for silent protests in multiple Australian and New Zealand jurisdictions to begin at 9 a.m.: “No signs. No speeches. No noise.” It accused the governments of both countries of being “abusive” and called for citizens to “stand up.”
