I'm totally behind this action. We can't let this stand - and to be honest I don't think it's enforceable. I see another embarrassing government U-turn in the offing. All they're doing is giving people more reasons to demonstrate outside Parliament.

It seems as if the police have a policy of always arresting five or six people, and leaving everyone else alone. So if 100 people show up each time, the average demonstrator only has a 5% chance of being arrested. I like those odds...

The six people who got arrested today are going to face a lot of hassle for standing up for their principles. It takes a lot of guts to do what they've done - all credit to them.
