The event in question has already been reported here - http://melbourne.indymedia.org/news/2006/10/128359.php. As part of the protest today, a group which made the rounds of local businesses reported a positive response from traders, and orange flyers were to be seen in many shop windows, with the message "Racism is not welcome here." The owner of the hotel itself was less accomodating, and appeared close to assaulting someone who had planted a couple of stickers to the same effect on the pub sign - the police sensibly enough advised him to go back inside. Other protesters engaged in at times heated discussions with pool-playing patrons inside the bar, where again the reception seemed less than positive. Yarra's socialist councillor Steve Jolly was among those who addressed the crowd, which included a prominent punk presence, as well as members of a women's group and the anti-fascist collective Fightdemback (http://www.fightdemback.org/).
