Shane Patton, Vic Police Commissioner: We will have hard barricades, we will have traffic management points, we will have roving patrols, we will doing everything we can to prevent access to the city.

It’s been known for a while that there’s a rally planned for Saturday. We are saying you cannot come in. It is an illegal gathering. We will be doing everything we can to prevent that gathering. Anyone who makes it in there will be subject to a $5500 fine.

We saw on the 21st of August a large crowd of around 4-5000 people. We saw a convergence of people who were placing others at risk of potentially contracting the coronavirus. We can’t allow that to occur again.

In addition to locking down public transport, we will also be in effect locking down the city for that period of time. We will have hard barricades. We will have traffic management points. We will have roving patrols. For those who do get through ... we will arrest those people and issue infringements where we can.

This whole cohort of people who are about ‘freedom’ don’t respect the freedoms of others.

Oh, i see - the Lockdown Nazis are actually 'freedom fighters'.
