There had been talk of a 'scumbag tour' which is presumably why the police were out in numbers - anything with 'G' in front of it seems to sound alarm bells. Other commitments, and possibly the weather, kept some away, and instead of the tour there was a speakout, to which various activists contributed, including two on behalf of Indigenous peoples both here and around the globe.(Next week will see Senior-Sergeant Chris Hurley in court over the death of Mulrunji on Palm Island in 2004 - see http://www.socialist-alliance.org/page.php?page=653) Leaflets relating to the upcoming APEC meeting in Sydney in September and the court appearance of G20 arrestees in Melbourne on August 31 were handed out.
