(snip)
As Bush began to talk about the downfall of Saddam Hussein's regime in Iraq, two separate interjections by Australian Greens Party senators, Bob Brown and Kerry Nettle, forced the U.S. president to halt his address.

The Speaker of the House ordered that the parliamentarians be removed from the house by the Sergeant at Arms but both resisted efforts to have them removed.

Senator Brown called out that President Bush should show respect for the world's laws and said that Australia was not a "sheriff" in Asia.

During the second interjection by Senator Nettle, Bush quipped: "I love free speech". (Hecklers ordered out)
