Thousands of protesters return to Melbourne's CBD to rally against vaccine mandates and new pandemic laws
Thousands of protesters have swarmed the streets of Melbourne's CBD to rally against Victoria's new pandemic laws and vaccine mandates being imposed by the state government.
Protesters gathered outside the state library on Saturday morning before moving to state parliament on Spring Street for the second week in a row in demonstrations against the Andrews government.
Police were called to the area early on, with officers working to ensure the protests remained peaceful.
"Police are aware of protest activity planned in Melbourne on Saturday. There will be a highly visible police presence to ensure there are no breaches of the peace and the community is safe," Victoria Police said in a statement.
Protesters carried signs including 'kill the bill' as they also called on Premier Daniel Andrews to resign.
