Protesters egg (Australian PM) Howard's car
A scuffle has broken out between police and protesters outside a dinner in Melbourne celebrating the Prime Minister's 10 years in office.

John Howard's car was pelted with eggs and bottles on his arrival at the Meyer family's Toorak mansion.

Around 40 police formed a line between protesters and the arriving cars, managing to keep most people back.

Some of the 70 protesters threw themselves onto the car.

There were no arrests but police dragged some protesters to the ground.

Vashti Kenway from Melbourne University's student union says many were there to vent their anger over the issue of racism.
