I watched clips of the protest on the news here. There's no way the protest came even close to being 25,000; I'd put it at about 10,000 plus. And Kathleen Turner's only 50, but she looks at least a decade older.
The local news here in New Zealand (yes, unfortunately government owned TV http://www.tvnz.co.nz ) says there are 400,000! They didn't mention this but my Dad remarked most look like middle-aged to seniors i.e. ageing hippie generation. Radio news reports from Asia says "tens of thousands".
So in reality how many are really there? Thanks.
PS: Ironically the government-owned TVNZ news is the relatively least leftist news outlet. The privately owned TV3 (owned by Canada's CanWest http://www.tc3.co.nz ) and Australian-owned Prime ( http://www.primetv.co.nz ) are even more pathetic. One (TV3) even openly put the caption "Bush: the Professional Fascist" at the end of its TV news during the credits section.
