Risingtide Action, Sydney
Australia is the worse per capita greenhouse gas polluter in the world and that doesnt include all the coal that is exported. In the land of sunshine solar is almost non-existant.
The action bailed up the offices of Tory Prime Minister John Howard as well as Labor leader Bob Carr, who was greeted with a chant of "bobs a knob".
Xtrata was one of the many corporates also targeted.
The after party is continuing near the opera house site of big mobilisation planned for August 30 against the Forbes Global CEO Conference. check out 30A Network

My friends, if you thought the mainstream media was bad, think again.
[1] Propaganda - The systematic propagation of a doctrine or cause or of information reflecting the views and interests of those advocating such a doctrine or cause.
[2] Cronyism - Favoritism shown to old friends without regard for their qualifications, as in political appointments to office.

What's your problem mate? We had fun, we got the message across. I didn't come across anyone that felt demoralised. It was more productive than spendng Friday night in the pub. What would you suggest instead?
