So I don't know how many of you have heard, but good ol' George Bush and 20 other world leaders have gathered in Sydney to talk about 'international issues'. As far as the Prime Minister tells us, this is mostly security and technology agreements, with global warming coming a flimsy third.
Because of the nature of the summit there is MASSIVE security, including a huge police presence and resulting in most of Sydney being put behind a big wall (literally...it goes for 5 km and is 3 metres high).
There's also a lot of protesting...and a group of comedians famous for their semi-legal pranks joined in and made national news.
The stars of ABC TV's The Chaser risked being targeted by snipers when they breached APEC security during a prank yesterday, says NSW Police Commissioner Andrew Scipione.
i'm not suprised the Police Comissioner has his panties in a twist, because this is what happened:
Eleven crew from the comedy show were arrested and charged by police yesterday after driving a fake motorcade of three cars into Sydney's APEC restricted security zone.
Chas Licciardello sat in the back of one of the cars dressed as Osama bin Laden as Julian Morrow, posing as a security guard, ran alongside the motorcade.
The convoy was waved through security checkpoints on Macquarie Street and came within metres of the hotel where US President George Bush is staying.
Obviously the upwards of 150 million taxpayer dollars that John Howard spent on security ain't paying off. ^.^
[edit] Sorry, make that $250 million!

A memory remains, just a tiny spark...
I feed it all my oxygen, so let the flames begin!
