Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has condemned the violence, saying Australians had a right to protest - but had to do so in a peaceful manner.
Dozens of people have been arrested after clashing with police at an anti-war demonstration in Melbourne.
Police said they were appalled by the actions of some demonstrators targeting a military hardware sales show in Australia's second largest city, accusing them of pelting officers with rocks, manure and bottles filled with acid.
By contrast, protestors said officers were heavy-handed and responded with flashbang grenades and irritant sprays to control the hostile crowd.
