MELBOURNE, Sept 18 (Reuters) - Australia's police arrested 235 people in Melbourne and 32 in Sydney on Saturday at unsanctioned anti-lockdown rallies and several police officers were injured in clashes with protesters.

Victoria police said six officers required hospitalisation. Several officers were knocked to the ground and trampled, the police said and television footage showed.

About 700 people managed to gather in parts of Melbourne, as 2,000 officers made the city centre virtually a no-go zone, setting up checkpoints and barricades. Public transport and ride shares into the city were suspended.

In Sydney, riot squad officers, highway patrol, detectives and general duties police were also deployed to the streets, preventing large gatherings.

Not one word about how or whether the lockdowns was having any positive impact on disease / hospitalization rates. Typical.

I hope there is a large stockpile of guns the Oz Nazis did not get. Maybe leftovers from WWII, Korea, and Nam.

so now if you are against being imprisoned, you are called an anti-lockdown person?

coming to America soon

pro-life = anti-abortion
not wanting to get an injection = anti-vaxx
not wanting to wear a a diaper on your face = anti-masker
the list goes on

...at unsanctioned anti-lockdown rallies

Sanctioned by whom? Citizens who accept the idea of licensing, sanctions, and blessings from the elitists, concede their inferiority

They lock up more COVID protestors there than we do violent thieving rioters in our country.
