NSW: Protesters storm Howard tree planting ceremony
The protester had been arrested after kissing a police officer whilst trying to force
his way through the police barricade.
Meanwhile, Mr HOWARD barely acknowledged the protesters and proceeded to plant a tree
in the Corridor of Oaks.
His one acknowledgement of their presence came during an address at the ceremony when
he used the words: those who have temporarily visted us.
As a local school band played the Australian anthem the protesters shouted Shame Howard
Shame, Justice Yes, Racism No and Mandatory Sentencing Has to Go.
