Police have arrested 94 people in the Melbourne CBD and St Kilda areas after anti-lockdown and anti-vaccination protesters took to the streets for a sixth day.==
The demonstration today was significantly smaller than previous protests in the city earlier in the week.
Officers shut the demonstration within an hour of the group gathering.
The majority of the arrests were in St Kilda, while some people were arrested in the CBD.
"All those arrested will be issued with penalty notices for breaching the CHO directions," Victoria Police said in a statement.
"Police are disappointed to see the number of people who are continuing to breach the CHO directions and will continue to arrest and fine them if they are found to be in breach of the CHO directions."
There was significant police presence in the city today as the threat of another outbreak of violence loomed, with protest organisers trying to direct members to Luna Park in St Kilda to block roads and traffic in the area.
The protests were scheduled to kick off around midday AEST, however the strong police presence detered large crowds.
Police had set up at key checkpoints around Melbourne's CBD to discourage protest activity.
Most pedestrians were stopped and asked about their movements at Flinders Street Station in an attempt to ward off anyone hoping to take part in lockdown protest.
Around 1000 protesters also gathered at Adelaide's Hindmarsh square, taking a stand against lockdowns, vaccines and media coverage of the coronavirus pandemic.
