The Wire

Security in the Harbour City is tight, as world leaders jet in for the APEC Summit. US President George W Bush arrives tonight… and today, New South Wales police appealed to the Supreme Court to stop a protest organised by the Stop Bush Coalition. Organisers intend to march down Martin Place in Sydney’s CBD on Saturday. The court has adjourned it’s decision til tomorrow morning. Police say the protest, in an APEC declared area, poses a security risk – something which the organisers strongly deny. This afternon, I spoke with Anna Samson from the Stop Bush Coalition, and she explained what lead to the Supreme Court hearing today.
