POLICE are warning that anti-vaccine protests in Canberra are expected to continue over the next two days and may cause disruptions to roads, paths, open spaces and public and private offices.
According to police, small disruptions are occurring across the territory – often with protesters traveling in convoy from one location to the next.
Roads near Parliament House may be subject to traffic control measures and people are urged to obey the directions of traffic controllers.
Organised protest activity is also expected on Saturday morning (February 12) affecting Commonwealth Avenue. Motorists are advised to avoid this area if possible as delays and road closures are expected.
Police are also preparing for the presence of protestors at the AIS tomorrow during a program encouraging kids to get vaccinated.
ACT Chief Minister Andrew Barr said it will still be a “safe place for vaccinations to take place” and that the vaccination hub would be “well protected” by authorities.
