About 60 people gathered outside the Melbourne Magistrates Court on January 27 to support Refugee Action Collective member Chris Breen, who is on trial for “inciting” people to participate in a car cavalcade to support detained refugees.
The cavalcade on April 10 went past the Mantra Hotel where 65 refugees were detained. Thirty participants were fined $1652 each, a total of nearly $50,000. Most are planning to challenge the fines.

Breen was arrested before the cavalcade began and held for nine hours. The incitement charge relates to his creation of a Facebook event advertising the car cavalcade.

The City of Melbourne has been threatening to fine people protesting against the treatment of refugees and asylum seekers under bylaws designed to stop buskers disturbing the peace.
Victoria Police officers have worked with council officers to penalise the protesters under a little-known bylaw that restricts the use of "excessive noise" that is "capable of interfering with the reasonable comfort of any person who may be in the vicinity of [a] public place".
