Secret Service hijack the Australian Parlaiment

[jonoboy]

Senator Bob Brown, leader of the Australian Greens Party has expressed outrage at the latest George Bush commandment. For the first time in the history of the Australian Parlaiment, based on the Westminster system of an open forum were members of the public can sit in the Public Gallery and watch debate between their elected representatives,no member of the public will be allowed into the building during the visit of the US President when he gives his adress this thursday.

Bob Brown's other question was ignored when the Speaker of the House declined to disclose, despite an MP's constitutional right for full disclosure when he asks a question, whether members of the Secret Service would be armed and whether the Speaker was prepared to express confidence in Australia's own Protective Services to guard a visiting head of state.

3. This guy is like a dog that can't be housebroken, leaves shit all over

the place, everywhere he goes.

Hope the Aussies finally understand what kind of crackpot they have for a buddy.

Pretty soon there will be pictures of Shrubby on every border with a circle around it and a line through it.

edit: can't spell worth a damn tonight, and contractions, oh well.

4. How about him calling the Aussie P.M. his "deputy sheriff" for south-east

Asia?....That's something else they're mad about down under!!!

5. maybe it will all backfire

G.W.Bush can expert a noisy welcome in Canberra on thursday..1000's have already gathered for massive demonstrations.

The illegal war on innocent Iraqis was never popular down under and a majority of people opposed PM John Howard's decision to join Bush in the campaign. Howard has remained relatively unscathed by the revelations of the lies that have unfolded but for the first time he was loudly booed by a huge crowd at the opening of the World Cup football 10 days ago.

Perhaps seeing the 2 war mongerers linked together on thursday will highlight the folly of the two.
