Anti-war demonstrators are expected to return to the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre to protest a military expo, one day after their rally descended into a violent clash with police.More traffic chaos is expected today, with the road remaining closed from the Spencer and Flinders Street intersection to the corner of Clarendon Road and City Road in Southbank.The convention centre is also blocked off, with dozens of police stationed outside as attendees arrived on Thursday.
The Police Association of Victoria blasted Wednesday’s scenes as “some of the most violent” protests officers have seen in decades.“And since the World Economic Forum, we haven’t seen people bring this, for no apparent reason, to the police,” union boss Wayne Gatt told 3AW Breakfast on Thursday morning.“That’s confronting when you hear that from such experienced police officers who do demonstrations and deal with peaceful protest and protest pretty much as their day job.
