Melbourne Pastor Arrested for Incitement Victoria Police have arrested and charged the Melbourne Pastor who made headlines last week for conducting a church service in defiance of state restrictions. Pastor Paul Furlong and a group of supporters held a protest on Wednesday outside his small business 150 supporters rallied at Pastor Furlong’s shop when police and DHHS arrived. Although police indicated that they were not taking any action, as soon as Rebel News and the crowd of supporters left, police moved in and arrested the pastor. Pastor Furlong has been charged with three separate incitement charges for the protest and for conducting a church service on Sunday. He was released on bail and will appear in court in July.
