Anti-vaxxers clash in Canberra

A woman has been pinged by the cops over a fiery clash with an apparent anti-vaccination protester in Canberra, which was captured on video and went viral on social media.

The rapidly escalating dispute, recorded by a member of the Convoy to Canberra group, showed the woman somehow managing to mount her Holden Captiva onto the protester’s car.

In the video, the woman suggested the protester had reversed into her SUV, calling her a “bogan sl**”.

The dispute became increasingly heated, with the apparent local telling the demonstrator to “get the f**k out of Canberra”.

“Go get a job and find something better to do with your f**king life,” she continued.

The demonstrator then asked for the woman’s licence before calling her a maniac.

“Yeah I am,” the woman responded before ramming her car into the protesters’ vehicle.

Witnesses of the event say it occurred just around the corner from where the Convoy to Canberra protesters have taken up residence at the EPIC Showgrounds.

In a statement, ACT Policing confirmed the incident occurred at around 10am in Canberra's north on Saturday.

The clash ended when the woman rammed her car into the protester’s vehicle.

“Police spoke to both drivers and confirmed there were no injuries as a result of the collision,” a spokesman said.

“Enquiries relating to the incident occurred today and the driver of a black SUV will be issued an infringement for negligent driving.

“ACT Policing urges all drivers to remain patient on our roads and to drive safely.”

Authorities could not confirm if the clash was between a Convoy to Canberra supporter and a Canberra resident, as it appeared to be.

It has been shared widely within the group's social media and Telegram page, and was not attributed to a source.

It comes as ACT Police consider their options on how to evict the remaining group of unauthorised campers from Exhibition Park in Canberra showgrounds, warning they may be considered to be trespassing if they don’t leave by Sunday evening.
