There have been almost two reports per person who attended the illegal anti-lockdown protest in Sydney.

Over 6000 reports were made to police after people starting telling on people they knew at the rally.

Around 3500 people attended, 60 being charged in connection.

NSW Police Minister David Elliott explained the number of reports showed how annoyed and upset the Sydney community is at the attendees.

"This suggests to me there is zero tolerance out there for members of the community who want to do the wrong thing."

"Keep the info coming folks because you're doing the police a fantastic service."

He has also addressed the "white-hot rage" experienced by those doing the right thing.

"It is not an exaggeration to say that 99 per cent of the population is doing the right thing. And that 99 per cent of the population is very, very frustrated with those people that are pushing envelope, and flouting the laws."

"Most members of Parliament and most media outlets can feel the white-hot rage from those of us who are staying at home under very difficult circumstances."

"Managing students, managing family illness, managing loneliness, managing mental health, managing work commit, managing the financial stress while others just want to go out and completely ignore the health orders."

"It's unfortunate that we have had nearly record numbers of people ringing Crime Stoppers. Now I don't want anybody going around thinking is that we have become a nation of dobbers."

"We are a nation of family lovers. We are a nation of people that want to make sure we get out of this pandemic as swiftly as possible."
