Australian police have made dozens of arrests amid anti-lockdown protests attended by hundreds nationwide.
In Melbourne, the centre of Australia's outbreak, about 300 people marched in defiance of tough measures that have been in place for a month.
Other protests took place in Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth.
On Friday PM Scott Morrison said seven of the country's eight states and territories had agreed to open their internal borders by December.
He suggested an eventual travel bubble with New Zealand could boost tourism and help revive the economy.
"In the absence of a vaccine, we may have to live this way for years," he warned.

Jeez it's just a piece of clothe. They act like all their rights have been eradicated. Every day millions of Japanese have close contact with each other, but they only have 1,500 deaths. They have universally adopted masks.
