Anti-war protesters descended on Melbourne's CBD, leading to confrontations with police and the use of pepper spray. The protesters were opposing the Land Forces exposition at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre, which features defense equipment. The police used pepper spray to disperse the crowd, and several roads and bridges were closed to traffic. The protest was triggered by the government's stance on the conflict in the Middle East and the presence of Israeli weapons firms at the exposition.
