And breathe. Another hectic day today, but we'll leave it there for tonight. Here's what we learned today:

9.55am BST

Victoria police say they arrested more than 200 people today.

The deputy commissioner Ross Guenther says approximately 300 people attended today's protest at the Shrine of Remembrance, but it was difficult to pin down a specific number:

We estimated that there were probably around 300. There could have been more there. It is very difficult because they were both on the east and western sides of the shrine and moving around, so out of that, I would say at least probably 20-30% of those who have received infringement notices. It could be higher, but this event only finished an hour ago, so we are yet to assess that. I know even as I came in here this evening, we have units patrolling around the city that are still picking up people for breaching the directions.
