'Abhorrent behaviour' of protesters has lead to 'substantial' public health risk

Victorian Treasurer Tim Pallas says abhorrent behaviour from a minority has lead to a very substantial health risk as protests continue in Melbourne.

Protesters have taken to the streets of Melbourne after the government banned construction work for at least two weeks.

“It’s a sad day for a lot of the construction industry workers,” Mr Pallas said.
