Add an EventStreet Confrontations at Melbourne G20 Protest
A rally at the State Library drew thousands of people. After speeches the crowd marched to the police barricades in Russell street. The crowd was festive, loud, and raucus, wanting to be heard (vox pop video) by those meeting in the Hyatt Hotel. After sometime at the Russell Street Barricades, many people left this location for other barricades around the Hotel.
Read an indymedia on the ground report, after which Police launched a running attack down Collins St with baton wielding and attacks on many people. Police then organised to move on protestors from Exhibition St, quoting that they are facing an "insurrection" with a police riot truck suffering damage. (Barriers to change video)
By 8pm a few hundred people were still at the barricades in Russell Street enjoying a strong party vibe with music.
