Late Edition - Third day of Melbourne lockdown street protest

From Nights, 10:25 pm on 22 September 2021

Police in Melbourne appear to have shot rubber bullets at hundreds of protesters who gathered at the city's Shrine of Remembrance locked in a stand-off with riot police in a third day of demonstrations.  The activists are protesting against the lockdown and demanding a vaccine mandate for the construction industry be lifted. And then a magnitude 5.8 earthquake hits Melbourne, followed a magnitude 4.7 aftershock just minutes later.  ABC reporter Dana Morse chats to Bryan.
