TAXI UBER PROTEST

Taxi drivers in Melbourne have brought several parts of the C-B-D to a standstill (tue), protesting against what they call a system that's allowing ride-sharing service Uber to take over the industry. Creating a blockade in front of the state's parliament, drivers then picketed the office of the Victorian premier, warning the action will continue until Uber is regulated.
