Anti Lockdown protesters sing in Chadstone Shopping Centre on September 20, 2020 in Melbourne, Australia. Anti-lockdown protesters have been using encrypted messaging to organise “freedom day” rallies to avoid police learning the location of their anti-lockdown protests. Metropolitan Melbourne remains under stage 4 lockdown restrictions, with people only allowed to leave home to give or receive care, shopping for food and essential items, daily exercise and work while an overnight curfew from 8pm to 5am is also in place. The majority of retail businesses are also closed. Other Victorian regions are in stage 3 lockdown. The restrictions, which came into effect from 2 August, were introduced by the Victorian government as health authorities work to reduce community COVID-19 transmissions across the state.
