I'll leave it to the organisers ( see posting below - http://melbourne.indymedia.org/news/2004/12/84882.php)to report how successful they felt today's sympathy action was; the commercial media apparently didn't feel inclined to accept the invitation to attend, so this is yet another indymedia scoop....
