Immigration protest interrupts PM's economic agenda speech

Description:
A small but vocal group of protesters has interrupted a major economic speech by the Prime Minister in Melbourne. The protesters are calling for the closure of the Nauru and Manus Island immigration detention camps. Mr Turnbull resumed his speech once the protesters were removed by police, calling on Labor to support around $6.5 billion of budget savings when the new parliament sits for the first time at the end of this month.
