Oliver Peterson: Australian correspondent on the concerns surrounding safety in Melbourne amid stabbings and protests - Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive

Victoria Premier Jacinta Allan has stated Melbourne is perfectly safe, despite some recent incidents coming out of the city's CBD.

Two police officers were hospitalised after clashing with protesters during the weekend's March for Australia rally.

This attack came days after a woman was stabbed in the chest near Spencer St in broad daylight. 

Australian correspondent Oliver Peterson says the police union has voiced concerns - and is calling for updated legislation regarding protests.
