Tom Elliott has taken the protesters outside of the Land Forces expo in the CBD to task this morning, stating the damage they’re doing to the city is “incalculable”.

Thousands of protesters have gathered outside of the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre, with violence ensuing between the protesters and police.

“Melbourne is presenting its worst possible face to the rest of Australia and indeed the rest of the world this morning,” the 3AW Mornings host said.
