• I am not saying that the position is exactly analagous, but recently we had in Melbourne people who I would in fact describe as hoodlums but who describe themselves as protesters, who attempted to set fire to wastepaper baskets in the General Post Office. [More…]

• As I said last night-4 will not walk away from anything I have said - I do not think that anybody has a right to be a nuisance or to deface property, but the reason why there are protesters today is the legislation that the Government is a party to. [More…]

• After all, protest of this nature or magnitude is relatively new and the measures taken against the protesters are relatively new. [More…]

• I suppose the most noticeable are the anti-war protesters, who, basically, are against war because they understand the stupidity and the futility of war. [More…]

[More…]
