A group of community advocates went to #33alfred, where they were quickly surrounded by police - they estimate about 50. They were arguing about the fence, saying they had been told it was not to be built. You can see video of these interactions on the @therapybytigist Twitter
Community legal representatives were called in an escalating situation with police. Residents inside the towers, witnessing all this, were increasingly distressed and agitated.
After some time, the advocates were told the fence would be demolished - that a contractor would be called and would be there within the hour. Representatives stayed on site until that had happened. The fence went down about 1am.
In the meantime, sensible arrangements for exercise have not yet been worked out. Suggestions include walks in the surrounding area supervised by community advocates. Keep in mind, most of the residents have not tested #CovidVic positive. More follows
