> Victorian police are investigating an allegation that a car was deliberately driven at speed towards a protester during an anti-racism rally in Melbourne last month. More than 150 people gathered in Broadmeadows on 25 July for what organisers called a peaceful community rally. The car allegedly approached the protester while travelling in the same direction as the group. The investigation concerns the reported actions at the event.
