| Skyhook, I just realised that the guard on the left is talking into a microphone. A mic is also visible on the left collar of the other guard. This means there were other guards about (a PLA swat squad?), ready to pounce on Aussie citizens should they not behave according to the Chinese government's wishes.
I though at least Rudd showed some backbone when he said the 'thugs' would not be on Aussie streets. As he didn't stop them, it seems he is nearly (not more than which is impossible) as spineless as the 'leaders' in Blighty. |
