A protest against construction restrictions in Melbourne has turned violent with anti-vaccination demonstrators clashing with union officials and hurling a bread crate.
Hundreds of workers in hi-vis vests gathered outside the CFMEU head office on Elizabeth St on Monday morning.
Dramatic mobile phone footage showed protesters hurling projectiles at men guarding the door, heckling a union rep as 'Dan Andrews' b****' and yelling 'f*** the jab'.
CFMEU state secretary John Setka tried to appease the crowd and address the protestors over loud speaker.
'Please calm down, can you at least give me the respect to talk,' he said.
'We're not the enemy, I don't know what you have heard,' he says to protesters, in a video posted to social media. I have never ever said I support mandatory vaccination.'
But his pleas fell on deaf ears with protestors shouting over him.
'Dan Andrew's b****,' several could be heard chanting.

Good! All these protests need to turn violent, lkke BLM and antifa does. Enough of the namby-pamby “we don’t do that! Harrumph!”
The Patriots need goggles to defeat the pepper spay.

20 Sept: Michael Smith News: LIVE now - will police back the CFMEU in Melbourne streets?
CFMEU boss John Setka has been verbally abused and accosted by a massive group of workers, mostly men without masks, outside the union’s headquarters in Melbourne.
The Victorian state secretary tried to address the crowd, who mostly donned high vis jumpers, to address their concerns about mandatory vaccination and passports in construction.
But he could hardly get a word in, and the mob turned violent – pushing and shoving – as he attempted to retreat within the Carlton headquarters...

That's what the umbrellas are for. You see them at every protest these days.
It seems to me that those testing the limits of the envelope they're trying to expand had better back off, fast. Some people are sheep. Some aren't.
Some people are sheep, until they are given permission to stop being sheep.
Here’s the thing. We want. Law and order. We want PEACE OFFICERS 👮♀️
WHEN THEY TAKE THE SIDE OF THE STATE AGAINST THE PEOPLE
TGEY ARE THE ENEMY THEN
Nice quote by Emerald Robinson.
Everyone should leave their homes and just walk around. Avoid being in groups. Thousands of individuals walking around are difficult to corral.
good pics from their protest last Friday:
PICS: 17 Sept: The New Daily: Tradies block CBD streets in smoko protests at COVID rules
Construction workers have blocked streets across Melbourne in a sit-down protest against the Victorian government’s toughened virus rules for their industry...
But there is anger among construction workers after the state government imposed tough restrictions on the industry, with 13 per cent of the active cases linked to transmission at construction sites.
From 11.59pm on Friday, tea rooms at construction sites must shut and food and drink can no longer be consumed indoors. Workers will no longer be able to travel between Melbourne and the regions.
All construction workers will be required to show their employer evidence that they’ve had a first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, by 11.59pm on September 23.
Limited medical exemptions and proof-of-booking exceptions will apply, in keeping with the vaccine mandate for aged care workers...
Earlier this week, the Victorian construction industry was warned it risked losing its authorised worker status amid the launch of an enforcement and vaccination blitz.
At the time, (Victorian COVID commander Jeroen Weimar) described tea rooms as the “most dangerous place” to contract the virus.

He’s great. Probably played rugby.
I don’t think Australians have any choice other than to go
mad-dog on their elected leaders.
This can’t go on, and their leaders are so firmly impacted
in their own rear ends that they’ll never see daylight again.
Sadly their police have been all too willing to play the
part of the Gestapo in all this, so that the populace has no
choice but to unwind on them also.
It’s as if anyone with any power at all was given a
triple dose of “to hell with our enemies” (the common
Australian Citizen).
I don’t think China could get a rise this outlandish out
of the Australian leaders.
This dude might be the 2021 hero of the year in my book. Kick ass my brother!
What is a tradie?
