Black Lives Matter protests spread to streets of Australia

Thousands of protesters have flouted social distancing restrictions by marching through the Sydney CBD in solidarity with demonstrators in the US over the death of George Floyd.

The 'Black Lives Matter' rally started in Hyde Park before making its way to State Parliament.

Authorities said the protest remained entirely peaceful and no arrests were made.

A second, larger rally is scheduled for the weekend.
