29 sec read

“Police have arrested protesters who managed to get on centre court while unfurling a pro-refugee, anti-Manus Island banner during the men’s final of the Australian Open.

“Two people, both women, made their way down on to the court and were quickly subdued by security staff, as a banner was unfurled, which read “Australia Open for refugees” with a hashtag underneath saying “#shutdownmanus”.

“The banner was draped over the Kia sponsorship signage just below the front row at the river end of Rod Laver Arena.

“The court invasion occurred during the second set, when Novak Djokovic led Andy Murray 4-3, during the change of ends.

“There was approximately a five-minute delay before play resumed and the players were surrounded by security staff. Murray broke Djokovic’s serve in the subsequent game to level the set.”
