Victoria Police is bracing for another round of anti-lockdown protests in Melbourne – the location of which organisers have kept secret through encrypted messages. Protesters are expected to release the location 30 minutes before the protest in an attempt to catch police off guard. Police say no matter where the protest pops up, they’ll be waiting to deliver the full force of the law. Protests are planned for the city's CBD on Saturday and Sunday. Last week more than 70 people were arrested in a protest at the Queen Victoria Market. The protest comes as Victoria Police turns to retired officers to bolster their force – recruiting the former cops to enforce compliance with COVID-19 rules. They will have the power to detain, move on, fine or arrest members of the public. The recruitment drive, run by the Department of Justice and Community Safety and the Department of Health and Human Services, would be implemented until April 2021.
