Summit protesters, whether ‘nasty’ (spiky) or ‘nice’ (fluffy)<\/a>, aren’t very popular with state authorities, that’s for sure. So while the trials of a number of G20<\/a> protesters who appeared earlier this month<\/a> at Melbourne Magistrates’ Court have been set for August<\/a>, according to Frank Walker and Kerry-Anne Walsh:<\/p>\n

Demonstrators and anyone under suspicion<\/strong> can be arrested and held without bail under unprecedented police powers being brought in for the APEC summit<\/a> in Sydney… Tough APEC security legislation being drawn up by NSW cabinet this week will include the suspension of normal bail provisions, new powers to do random searches and ban “prohibited” people<\/strong> from restricted zones. [NSW Police Minister David] Campbell said if police arrested anyone who did not obey orders<\/strong> to disperse or leave an area, they could be held in jail until APEC was over. Demonstrators will be kept well away from the world leaders during the summit from September 7 to 9 in order to avoid any “embarrassment” to VIPs. Known troublemakers<\/strong> will be refused entry to the city restricted zone. ~ Crackdown on ‘nasty’ summit protesters<\/a>, Sydney Morning Herald<\/em>, May 20, 2007<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

On the other hand — in an exercise that is estimated at costing hundreds of millions of dollars — Australian authorities will be locking down Sydney<\/a> in order to roll out the red carpet to 21 even bigger<\/em> troublemakers \/ ‘world leaders’, including the war criminals George Bush and Vladimir Putin, and Communist dictator Hu Jintao. Kinda like what’s happening in Heiligendamm, Rostock, and cities across Germany in preparation<\/a> for next month’s (June 6–8) G8 Summit<\/a>… so far, the only thing missing is pre-emptive raids on protest organisers.<\/p>\n

Can’t wait for that one!<\/p>\n
