nude Sydney protest for George Bush
AS anti-Bush protesters fire up ahead of the US President's arrival in Sydney tonight, others plan a rude, nude greeting for Dubya:

"Bush is coming to Sydney. Thousands of police, total CBD lockdown, draconian new laws to stifle all protest. Just so nothing disturbs Howard's moment of glory. APEC's agenda is more free-market madness, more nuclear power, more warmongers deciding how best to fuck the world over.

Is this the future we want? Let's tell Bush what we really think about his visit. Only 4000 cheeks are needed to make the biggest moon in history – a world record Australia can really be proud of.

There will also be an official '21 bum salute' for the 21 countries in APEC.

Hyde Park is not a 'Declared' or 'Restricted' area, you've every right to be there. Bring your friends, bring the family, bring your humour, bring a cheeky message. This is one APEC protest we can all enjoy."

1. Is all protest stifled in Australia?
Is this limited to APEC? Or, does this mean all protest, all the time? I hadn't heard about this before.

3. since Howard became PM protestors have been demonised
non-stop. But maybe that will be ended when he is thrown out on his arse before the end of 2007 with the Opposition now at 59% in the polls and have been for 6 months.

Blair-gone
Howard-about to go
Bush-gone in 2008

Help is on the way.

2. It's not really nude is it?
I mean they are just uncovering their behindus - does that count as a nude protest?

The Politics of Nudity would be a good name for a band.

5. Shouldn't that be twenty-TWO bums? Or does ONE bum equal BOTH cheeks?
