An earthquake with a magnitude of 5.8 and depth of 10 kilometers rattled the city of Melbourne yesterday and has raised questions of whether Australia's infrastructure lacks earthquake protections.
The earthquake was one of Australia's biggest tremors on record and caused minor damage to 46 buildings, but no serious injuries have been reported.
Meanwhile, it was the third day of anti-Covid lockdown protests in the city.
The aviation authority declared a no-fly zone above Melbourne and more than 200 people were arrested yesterday, but reports say they were less violent than Tuesday's.
Some lawmakers and labour unions are blaming far-right activists for infiltrating anti-Covid lockdown protesters' ranks and sowing vaccine misinformation.
9 News Melbourne reporter Chanel Zagon spoke to Susie Ferguson.
