Melbourne protesters are 'ordinary Victorians who have had enough': Credlin

Protesters have descended on Melbourne for the third week in a row to protest the Victorian government’s vaccine mandates and proposed pandemic laws.

There are an estimated 10,000 people in the crowds outside of state parliament and are not a “professional activist class”, according to Sky News host Peta Credlin.

“There are just a lot of mums and dads, ordinary people, in fact a lot of migrants, I’ve spoken to people emigrated to Australia from places like Bosnia and they’ve said this is not the Australia they came to,” she told Sky News Australia.

Ms Credlin said there were those in the crowd utilising dual citizenships as they “fear this legislation” and the extent of the powers under the proposed bill.

She said over 60 QCs had signed a letter condemning the bill because it “takes away liberties” from Victorian residents.

“Victorians have suffered enough over the last two years, they are pretty angry, they are respectful – it’s a peaceful demonstration – but there’ll be a downplaying on the commercial TVs tonight, I suspect of the crowds or the type of protesters,” Ms Credlin said.

“They are ordinary Victorians who have had enough.”
