New South Wales (NSW) Police Minister David Elliott said 57 people have been charged after attending an anti-lockdown protest in Sydney today, and that a strike force has been established to identify others who were there.
Officers issued more than 90 infringement notices to people at the demonstration and more arrests are likely. What we saw today was 3500 very selfish boofheads - people that thought the law didn t apply to them, Elliott said.
