Fears are mounting Sydney's Covid outbreak could explode after fed-up residents from the city's virus-ravaged south-west stormed the CBD demanding an end to lockdown.
The rally descended into chaos on Saturday afternoon with some protesters seen spitting at working media and others proudly waving 'Western Sydney Lives matter' placards as well over 10,000 people flocked to the heart of the city.
Frenzied crowds packed together shoulder-to-shoulder - mostly without masks - while chanting 'freedom' and anti-vaxxer slogans.
Some screamed 'f*ck the media' and 'Aussie Aussie Aussie, Oi Oi Oi'.
A father and son from Fairfield in Sydney's south-west, where case numbers continue to surge, told Daily Mail Australia they had travelled from the city's Covid ground-zero to the CBD to be a part of the rally.
