Student protesters have forcibly restrained as they sought to block Education Minister Christopher Pyne from visiting a Melbourne university.
Mr Pyne arrived at the Footscray campus of Victoria University this morning to speak at its centenary celebration, from which media were barred.
About a dozen protesters scuffled with security guards and tried to block Mr Pyne's access to the building, but they were pushed aside.
Mr Pyne left about 30 minutes later in his car via a rear garage door and did not speak to reporters.
The students were reportedly protesting over Mr Pyne's proposal to deregulate university fees.
