In 2006, the G20 held a meeting here in Melbourne, and as one expects, we got protesters. These same protesters have now forced an important event to be cancelled.
November 11, the eleventh day of the eleventh month, is a day of Remembrance in Australia, formally known as Remembrance Day. It is taken quite seriously, as it should be, and in many schools, businesses and other areas, there is a minute silence held at the eleventh hour on the eleventh day of the eleventh month, to remember our military heroes who have fallen. It’s a solemn, yet highly special, event.
The G20 protestors have now forced a Remembrance Day event to be cancelled.
Their perverse disrespect for the people who have made it possible for them to conduct themselves so poorly is absolutely revolting.
The Acting SA Premier, Mr. Kevin Foley, put it quite well. “These are feral, low-life people who want society to be in a state of near anarchy for their perverse pleasure. People who say they are anti-war, but who resort to violence and destruction to put their case are clearly dangerous.”
Low-life losers? I can think of better terms for them.

And yet if myself or a like minded person were to take to them with a cricket bat, I’d be up on charges.
WTF is this country coming to?

I agree WOZ. Here in Victoria, it’s especially bad because I can’t even criticise someone else just in case they’re of a different race or religion to a) White or b) Christian. If they’re both, they deserved it because they’ve done it for years, or something.
These idiots pulling these stunts aren’t going to learn until something goes seriously wrong, and when it does, they’re going to blame the same people they blame for everything.

I’m Sorry Holding a “Fascist Control” expo on Remembrance Day is a slap in the face to the memory of WWI and WWII
