Kirribili Protest
With heavy police presence the march went from Milsons Point train station, through Kirribilli to Kirribilli House. There was much support from people at shops and looking from their houses.
Upon arrival at Kirribilli house the police used force to push everyone off the street onto the footpath. With the few hundred people protesting it made it cramped and uncomfortable. Loud and passionate speeches took place from various people from activist groups, religous leaders and media personalities. The action ended with some street theatre from Perth activists.
The protest then left with plans to march back the way they came. Police once again used force to stop this from happening, even though permission for it had been granted before the protest. An alternate route back to Milsons Point was taken.
