Sydney Still Under Martial Law! Coming to a city near you.
http://www.blacklistednews.com/view.asp?ID=4218


Government House remains within the restricted zone and tourists wandering there over the next few days without "special justification" under the APEC Meeting (Police Powers) Act 2007 might face the slammer for six months.

Stage hands at the Opera House should be consulting QCs: possession of spray paint cans, flammable liquids or poles more than one metre long could land them behind bars for up to two years.

But surrounding the marchers were scenes from another country: John Howard's Australia of fear. Police in Darth Vader gear stood, batons at the ready. Dogs were waiting in reserve. There were machines for pumping gas. The famous black water cannon crawled behind the demonstrators being funnelled into Hyde Park.




It wouldn't be pretty, make your vote in the primaries to defend the constitution!
