US sauce of protester's ire (First APEC arrest)
Source: The Age

Police have made their first APEC protester this afternoon after a man squirted tomato sauce on a pro-United States banner.

"They tried to rip down our banner,'' Aussies 4 ANZUS organiser John Ruddick said.

"We didn't want President Bush to come to Australia and think the only people who get out of bed are these people in opposition (to him).

"We are sick of left-wing protesters being the only ones who get on TV.''

We call this kind of guy a "wanker" down under.

Some footage here: http://media.theage.com.au/?rid=31444

You can hear the handful of pro-* wankers shouting "arrest him! arrest him!" as the 10 officers pin the saucer down. Ughh.

I can't keep it out of head every time I see their stupid name - Aussies 4 ANUS. It is just so catchy. A group of Australian supporting an asshole. :rofl:
