Anti-war protesters in Melbourne are planning to disrupt the upcoming Land Forces International Defence Expo by blocking streets and staging peaceful demonstrations, with estimates of up to 25,000 participants. Activist groups, including Students for Palestine and Disrupt Wars, aim to obstruct the expo's opening on Wednesday, claiming they have already halted weapon deliveries during a prior blockade, while police have increased their presence and established a fortified perimeter around the event site to manage potential chaos.
