Idiocy is not confined to the US and MAGATS
Dozens of people have been arrested at an anti-lockdown protest in central Melbourne as the riot squad and police on horseback were used to disperse crowds.
About 200 people had gathered at the Shrine of Remembrance late on Saturday morning after people used social media to tout "Freedom Day" rallies in capital cities around the country – including in Melbourne where stage four lockdown restrictions are in place.
About 100 police were in and around the Shrine early in the day. Mounted officers were used to move the crowd on about midday amid chants of ‘Dictator Dan’ and ‘Let the kids live’.
The crowd of several hundred protesters then walked around Albert Park Lake. There was initially few police accompanying the protesters but a helicopter maintained surveillance.
Demonstrators were flying Australian flags and chanting "Aussie, Aussie, Aussie".

'Let the kids live'? Today we heard of the first Aussie kid, a nine year old boy with the severe and rare inflammatory illness linked to Covid-19 with the severe immune response syndrome PIMS-TS.

Melbourne.
I wonder if they're getting "freedumb" crazy watching the idiots under trump in the US?
Sorry about the 9 year old boy.
But most are shut down for the duration and I'm not seeing the push to re-open them, unlike the US.
Do his parents live here? 
His parents live in Portland Oregon.. my son in law is from Melbourne.. they met at the UofO in Eugene. my grandson graduated from the Univ of Virginia & is in Medical school in Melbourne! So cool.. he & his very long time girlfriend.
Mahalo for asking, canetoad
And say Monash medical school, or Uni-Melb. Both great schools.
For a moment I thought he might be young, doing a Timbertop year like Prince Charles. 
Prince Charles finished his secondary schooling at the hated Gordonstoun then was send to Australia for a year to study before entering university.
He was enrolled in Timbertop, which is a campus of Geelong Grammar School in central Victoria.

From what I've read, he enjoyed his time there. I've spent time in the area and it's truly beautiful.
Correction: he was here for 6 month.
