PROTESTING, DEMONSTRATING, & RALLYING SAVES LIVESVIOLENT MISFITS COST CITY $5M [?] and their headings in capitals Say, "VIOLENT street demonstrations over the World Trade Organisation's meeting in Sydney by a coalition of professional protesters have cost taxpayers more than $5 million to police.
The combined response of state and federal police, ASIO and protective services will cost more than was raised in the telethons for Australia's drought-ravaged farmers and victims of the [CIA false flag] Bali bombings.
[Not very good comparisons when one takes into account the Bali bombing was a Coalition of the Killing false flag operation to help bolster support and quell dissent for the illegal and degrading resource wars on Iraq and Afghanistan.
How much is a life worth?
How much is a war worth?
Seems our corporate media despots don't know how to add up. In hindsight they may not have worked out who was really behind the second Bali bomb blast as yet but that was their job to sniff it out and report properly about it. But they were aware of the ILLEGAL AND DEGRADING WAR ON AFGHANISTAN AND IRAQ! ]
Ben English and Rachel Morris: The bill would provide support for more than 8000 farming families under the Federal Government's support plan announced this week.
It would also employ more than 110 extra nurses or teachers for 12 months or bankroll the planting of 20,000 trees.
Instead, the money was used to deploy more than 1000 NSW police, two helicopters, a 3km barrier fence and dozens of police cars as violence erupted on Sydney streets.
[Yes too right! Ordinary people some protesting against the occupation, murder and genocide of hundreds of thousands of innocent men, women and children. And you call yourselves reporters? You should hang your head in shame and go get jobs defending those poor innocent people. Shame on you!!!]
A spokesperson for Justice Action, Dalai Lama said, "Sack the Minister who spent the money to terrorise the community by employing terrorists to undermine civil and democratic rights. Or spend the money on a Bill of Rights so the Community are not legislated out of their rights to demonstrate their worth".
