Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison has criticised animal rights activists as "shameful and un‑Australian" after dozens were arrested in nationwide protests.

Yesterday, activists broke into abattoirs and chained themselves up to protest against the meat industry.

More than 100 protesters also blocked one of Melbourne's main intersections, before many were removed.

Morrison called on state authorities to bring "the full force of the law against these green‑collared criminals".
