Live updates: Protesters gather at Government House

Anti-vax mandate protesters in Canberra on Saturday.

As Canberra goes into a new week, anti-vaccine protesters demanding an end to COVID-19 mandates and the resignation of parliament have no plans to slow down.

We'll bring you the latest updates on their movements and impact on the nation's capital over coming days.

As part of a renewed push to legitimise their grievances and overthrow the government, the group has called for 5 million supporters to converge on Canberra in the coming weeks. This comes after crowds swelled from hundreds, part of a "Millions Against Mandatory Vaccination" protest, to at least 1000 on Saturday.

While the protesters' plans for the week ahead are unclear, The Canberra Times understands more people are set to arrive over the next few days with intentions to cause as many disruptions as possible across the capital.

It is understood the group intends to stay in Canberra until at least tomorrow, when Federal Parliament returns for its first sitting week of the year.
