Victoria Police have arrested almost 100 people across Melbourne's CBD today despite a far quieter and more relaxed day of demonstrations.
Police confirmed a total of 92 arrests were made in response to protest activity, the majority of which came as a result of breaching Chief Health Officer directions.
Other arrests were made on issues including outstanding warrants and whereabouts.
While today marked a lull in the heightened activity over the past three days, police say they've received intelligence from encrypted social media groups of more rallies planned for tomorrow.
"We again urge anyone thinking of coming into the city without a lawful purpose to stay home and comply with the Chief Health Officer directions," a spokesperson for Victoria Police said.
"Victoria Police will continue to provide a highly visible presence across the city over the coming days."
Earlier today defence veterans and leaders vented their outrage after more than 400 protesters hijacked Melbourne's Shrine of Remembrance in a demonstration condemned as "disgraceful".
Freedom protesters yesterday took their day three fight to scrap mandatory COVID-19 vaccinations for the construction industry to the war memorial yesterday afternoon, chanting "sacred ground" and "lest we forget".
Shrine of Remembrance CEO Dean Lee told Today the disgraceful behaviour was difficult to watch, admitting he got "a bit emotional".
"To have the Shrine desecrated and disrespected in that way was very, very troubling," he said.
"My primary concern was would there be any damage to this memorial which has stood here for 86 years as a representation of the generations of service and sacrifice of Australian men and women."
Police gave protesters four hours to leave peacefully, but after they refused to move the riot squad swooped in, firing rubber bullets and dispensing tear gas to disperse the crowd.
Two police officers were injured as protesters threw projectiles, including golf balls, bottles and batteries at members.
Victoria Police arrested 215 protesters yesterday and they will be all hit with $5500 fines for breaching the Chief Health Officer's health orders.
Mr Lee said he was "appalled" the protesters desecrated such a meaningful and important state monument that paid tribute to war veterans and heroes.
"I saw it as entirely selfish and disrespectful to the honoured memory of what our Australian men and women have done in the Defence Force," he said.
"There was broken glass, there was rubbish, there was urination, there were beer cans, it was just everything that this place does not represent and should not be.
"I understand the community is troubled and that we're all facing challenges, but this is not the place you come to pursue or express your discontent."
Speaking from Washington DC, Prime Minister Scott Morrison said anyone who protested at the Shrine should be "ashamed" of themselves.
"I think that the scenes were disgraceful and the conduct was disgraceful," he said.
"This is a sacred place. It is not a place of protest.
"It was disrespectful and it dishonoured those Australians who have made that sacrifice and I would hope any and all who were in that should be ashamed."
Police make arrests as Melbourne protests continue for fifth day
Senator Jacqui Lambie also blasted the protesters for disrespecting the memorial.
"Blood, sweat and tears is the reason that you have your freedoms because all those people fought for this country," she said.
"To have that and to stand up there and say, "lest we forget," I'm telling you, we're not forgetting your performance."
The CFMEU released a statement today condemning the "mob occupation" of the Shrine to protest against vaccination.
"The Shrine commemorates those who served their country in armed conflict and at war," the statement read.
"These actions are not supported by the vast majority of union members in the construction industry nor the Australian community.
"Those who occupied the Shrine should be ashamed of themselves.
"They should reflect on the sacrifices of others and cease these mindless and destructive mob actions."
