Walking to my car last night I passed a demonstration in Rundle Mall, next to the Malls Balls. It was comprised of around 25 or 30 people, most of them holding up home made placards. Some of them were "Stop Climate Change" and others "Out of Iraq Now", but most were just generally about how they didn't like George Bush or John Howard.
What was weird (and I'm someone who thinks most protests are kind of a little weird anyway - outside of millions of people gathering together, I tend to think they are a huge waste of time), is that the leader of the protest (the guy who had a small bullhorn instead of a home made placard) was leading the crowd in a "Go home George Bush" chant.
Seeing as the guy is currently 2,000km away in Sydney, that seemed a little futile. Can't really see an aide pulling him aside to say "I don't want to alarm you sir, but there are two dozen people in Adelaide who would like it if you go home. Yes, Adelaide, it's on the other side of the country. Should I fuel up Air Force One?"
