Canadian right-wing activist Lauren Southern, who was holding a lecture in Melbourne on July 20, was interrupted by protesters from the Whistleblowers, Activists and Citizens Alliance.

ABC reported the talk, which was being held at Somerton, a suburb of Melbourne, attracted more than 100 protesters from WACA, and they clashed with riot police.

Caolan Robertson filmed this footage of a WACA protester being forcibly removed from the stage in front of Southern.

“Just before the camera started rolling, she tried to dive on Lauren and the security grabbed her at the last minute,” he told Storyful.

The protester can be heard yelling, “I love refugees”, in this footage, as she is taken off stage. Credit: Caolan Robertson via Storyful
