Ten police have been injured, six taken to hospital and 235 demonstrators arrested after authorities used capsicum spray on groups of anti-lockdown protesters who broke through police lines near Richmond early on Saturday afternoon.

Protesters hurled projectiles and abuse at authorities before surging through the police line, screaming and being soaked in capsicum spray as they went. One female police officer was trampled in the chaos, with scuffles breaking out along the road.

Travel in and out of Melbourne by public transport and car ground to a halt to prevent the anti-lockdown protest from starting, however it did not thwart the rally completely.

The protesters gathered in Richmond then marched to Hawthorn to avoid checkpoints aimed at keeping them out of the CBD.

1. Apparently Australia has given up on a zero Covid strategy.

They are doing lockdowns until they can increase their lousy vax numbers.

3. Rupert Murdoch and his fascist family's legacy.

The Saudis and Russians have financed him through everything, and they're going to bail him out of any lawsuit that they lose to Dominion Voting machine's company.
