SIX people have been arrested while protesting outside a state memorial service at Sydney's Opera House honouring late media mogul Kerry Packer.
The four men and two women were part of a small group calling themselves the Kerry Packer Dis-memorial Collective gathered outside the Opera House to protest against the taxpayer-funded service. The six, whose ages are unknown, were arrested for refusing police directions to leave, and will be taken to Surry Hills police station for processing.
One of the six was also arrested for hindering police.
The remaining protesters then dispersed as guests arrived.
Security is tight around the Opera House, where about 1800 people are paying tribute to the billionaire businessman, who died on Boxing Day aged 68.
D*ckheads!
Looks to me (from the way the article was written) that they were protesting about the state funded bit.
His great "crime" is he was rich.
The Left hates wealth.
I clicked on the link for enlightenment but there was none.
kind regards,
Baroness Thatcher is still with us. She'll have to wait her turn.
Cheers!
Good reply!
"...to protest against the taxpayer-funded service."
I think this bit's the hint.
Of course Aussie Dasher might have stated the entire truth of the matter.
