Anti-Vaccine Protesters Clash With Police in Australia, For the 3rd Day

The state of Victoria has entered its third day of protests against the compulsory vaccination of construction workers.

It’s been a violent few days in Melbourne, Australia, where construction workers and other demonstrators are clashing with police.

The protesters have been slammed by the state’s premier Daniel Andrews, who said “they’re not there to protest, they’re there for a fight”.

Australia’s Victoria state had shut construction sites after violent protests on Monday.

On Monday, people gathered outside the headquarters of the prominent Construction, Forestry, Maritime, Mining and Energy Union to protest the mandate, chanting and yelling before attempting to storm the building.

Angry protesters threw bottles and smashed loudspeakers, according to local media reports.

Some 13% of the state’s active COVID-19 cases are linked to construction sites, according to local media.
