When Victorian Police say ‘Charge!’ it doesn’t mean running forward with batons at the ready.

Lauren Southern and Stefan Molyneux are currently doing a lightning tour of The Great South Land. And police in Melbourne are treating their event as they did Milo’s appearance in the city by the Yarra: as a revenue raising opportunity.

From The Unshackled:

Victoria Police is sending a number of officers there. However despite the fact that we are supposed to pay through our taxes for police protection Victoria Police has already sent the organisers of the tour Axiomatic Events a bill for $68,000.

But the Melbourne cops aren’t complete bastards, you know.

This was apparently discounted from $150,000.

How very sporting of them.

Caldron Pool has footage from inside via Caolan Robertson. Looks like a pretty good turnout, even after the Antifans are removed.

From Caldron’s Facebook page:

Yep, that’s about it.
