Hundreds of protesters descended on Canberra this week in a noisy demonstration opposing vaccine mandates and to air a hodge-podge of other grievances.
In trucks and trailers, cars and campervans, the “Convoy to Canberra” lobbied in the nation’s capital on Monday, taking loud protests to Parliament House and the National Press Club. Hundreds have camped at unauthorised sites citywide; police moved in on Friday morning to dismantle a main site, but warn that protesters could be in town at least a week.
