I was one of the old-fashioned officers – I would have asked one of the protestors what was going on, but I guess that would be too obvious. I like to gather some intel on the ‘enemy’ before I make decisions.

There would be a Liberal government [conservatives in Australia, just to confuse things] if Abbott wasn’t such a maroon. Gillard is not the most adapt politician in the world, and she has shot herself in the foot multiple times, but Abbott seems to save her with his ineptitude at the last moment.

Both major parties in Australia have serious leadership problems.

Well, thing is, there was a bit of confusion at the beginning. I saw the tweets start flowing across Twitter at the start and nobody was quite sure what was going on, who these people were, why were they there, who was their target, etc., and security decided that discretion was the part of valor and to get every VIP out of there ASAP. I’m sure that if the security folks and Gillard had been aware of who the protesters exactly were protesting and why, they would have just hustled Abbot to the door, shoved him out it, then locked it behind him :).

Fog of war, I guess you’d call it. Except it wasn’t war, but there was certainly plenty of fog, at least of the mental type.
