Following the controversial arrest of a pregnant woman over a Facebook post, police in Australia defended the move and said they had paid over 80 home visits to people warning them they will be arrested if they attend anti-lockdown protests.

28-year-old Zoe Buhler was handcuffed and arrested in her Ballarat home in front of her children yesterday because she used Facebook to organize a 'freedom day' anti-lockdown protest in her home town.

Authorities claimed they were "satisfied" that police had acted reasonably and Buhler was charged under section 321G of the state's Crimes Act 1958.

However, the president of the Victorian Bar, Wendy Harris QC, said she was concerned about the arrest.

"In the case of Ms Buhler, who was arrested and handcuffed in her home in front of her partner and children, the Bar is concerned that the enforcement action of the police … appeared disproportionate to the threat she presented," she said.
