Protesters cleared out from Cotter campground

 

Anti-vax protesters at Old Parliament House.

FOUR anti-vaccine mandate protesters have been arrested for illegal camping at the Cotter.

ACT police made the arrests last night (February 14) after some of the demonstrators set up camp beyond the designated campground.

Protesters were evicted from Exhibition Park in Canberra (EPIC) yesterday after they failed to leave the grounds by the deadline issued for Sunday (February 13) afternoon.

Three people were arrested for trespassing as part of the operation to clear EPIC ahead of the Canberra Show.

Why don’t these left wing and right wing and misinformed people demonstrate outside their parliamentarians’ offices and inconvenience their neighbours, considering that the decision makers are there, not in Canberra.
