Police yesterday said they are not opposed to a march, planned for Saturday, but reject the protesters' planned route, which passes the U.S. Consulate in Sydney, but is several city blocks from the summit venue.
With Chinese President Hu Jintao and Russian President Vladimir Putin attending the APEC summit, protesters also plan to demonstrate against human rights abuses in China, nuclear proliferation and global warming.
Sydney Police : "Be aware of the mob rule mentality. Don't be enticed by those that would seek to have you get involved in an unlawful act," Scipione told a news conference. I wonder if those sentiments are echoed in a similar way in Police briefings? the coin flips both ways, and cops are human too. meaning that violent actions happen on both sides of the fence, from both parties, and sadly this is the only concern for our ailing media to cover. If only they looked around and saw how their rights have been shoved to the side, city closed off without public support, fear and intimidation tactics around ever "blue" street corner, they wouldnt need to resort to pumping up this protest wrestle match happening on Saturday.
Instead lets start asking the questions. Why are these people so important that our surrogate capital city in Sydney needs to be fenced off to its inhabitants? not keeping them in, but out of the city. What dont they want us to see or hear? How can we give away our rights and liberties to these minority authoritive forces who feel they are on the cutting edge of deeming what is "safe and unsafe" for us to see, hear or interact with?
Its almost like they seem to have feed us the "violent protests in Sydney" script before its even been filmed, in order to justify their means of creating a Berlin wall around the city. Its simple, feed the media the bullshit, the media then feeds it to us, we get scared about planned "violent youths" attacking people, we shut the doors and stay inside our comfortable four walls, we give in to the fear story. as Dubya would say ..... Mission Accomplished

I absolutely hate how Johnny is cow towing to the most dangerous man in the world . Turned Sydney into a chicken pen just for the US President.
For this reason alone I will vote Labour, at least Rudd stands up to the little dic dic dic tator....

hmm i think its all a bit un-necessary! but its only cause george is involved and hes most likely paranoid about being assasinated by some terrorists, which i think is being a little self centred?! i mean come on, hes just another guy. just cause hes the president of america doesnt make him any more important. he doesnt REALLY do anything someone else couldnt do!..
and i agree with miguel, kevin is getting my vote, it will be good for a change, especially for the lower class people in under paid jobs. dont get me wrong, johnny has done a grreat job running the country and bettering the economy(i think) but he has too many other things that hes not putting up there as important. personally they should work on fixing the planet before making sure our economy is super strong?
i dont see why they dont just have their stupid meetings over the internet or in an undisclosed location like the desert!?> and $300M... thats just ridiculous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
spend it on something worth while! idiots.
guuuh i could just keep going i reckon! but i wont or im going to break something!
it feels like tuesday.
