More than 60 people were arrested in a second day of violent unrest on Melbourne streets, a demonstration which started as a protest against mandatory vaccines in the construction industry.

Deputy Victorian Police Commissioner Rick Nugent says the protest involved construction workers but also anti-vaxxers and freedom rally protesters, who are using the building dispute as a cover to act "in a riotous manner".
