Anti-vaxxer actress Isabel Lucas supports anti-lockdown protests

Isabel Lucas has thrown her support behind anti-lockdown protests occurring around Australia on Saturday. 

The former Home and Away actress, 36, shared a number of photos of the rallies in Sydney, and tagged them 'freedom over fear' on her Instagram Stories.  

Further posts labelled the crowd as undertaking a 'peaceful protest'. 

Earlier this month, the actress urged fans to join her at an anti-5G protest in Byron Bay.

The 36-year-old shared a post to Instagram, promoting the protest which will begin at Suffolk Park and end at the proposed location of a 5G tower.

'Thank you Byron Bay community. Come and join us,' she wrote.

Recently, bizarre new conspiracy theories have circulated on social media claiming that 5G 'causes coronavirus' by 'sucking oxygen out of your lungs'.

These claims have been debunked by medical experts and technological experts.

It comes as thousands of protesters marched in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane on Saturday, in backlash over strict lockdowns.  

Horrifying footage emerged of angry protesters in Sydney attacking police and hurling pot plants at officers on horseback as anti-lockdown rallies across the country descended into chaos.

Fifty-seven arrests were made during chaotic scenes in the city's CBD on Saturday as tens of thousands of maskless residents joined demonstrators in cities across Australia to call for an end to Covid lockdowns.

Frenzied crowds were heard screaming 'you serve us!' to police as a group of protesters were filmed crash tackling officers into a garden bed in front of Town Hall station.

The demonstrations, which were also seen in Melbourne and Brisbane, are a response to Covid lockdowns imposed in New South Wales, Victoria and South Australia, with more than half the country's 25million people ordered to stay at home over an outbreak which began in Sydney's east.
