Most of the cases in Victoria weren't linked to the protests. More were connected to family gatherings and people not self-isolating while awaiting test results. So still idiotic, but contrary to what the a lot of the media and the Liberal Party are claiming, the spike wasn't precipitated by the BLM protests.

Hmm... and what prompted families in Victoria to gather more than in the other states? and why people not self-isolating while awaiting test results would affect Victoria more than the others?

Our numbers were already higher than other states before the spike, so there was probably just more infected people to spread it.

They had protests in other states too without resulting spikes.
