(the makers are from Brisbane. it's a self payout. Brisbanes mediocrity is what makes it the best) LNP hat-trick! and a look at the fairly bland G20 uniforms. i reckon they could have shelled out an extra couple or ten mil' on the design! as a brisbane resident i don't want any part in G20, but i am following the happenings rather enthusiastically, and that probably sums up the attitudes of most brisbane residents. one thing that pleases me is the idea that brisbane will be a ghost town. fuck i hope that happens, and i think it will. the mayor is trying to get people into the CBD (come for the cultural activities, stay for the cavity searches!) but 18 months of hearing about how tightly secured and frankly inconvenient the place is going to be over the weekend, i think brisbane folk are humble enough just to say "you know what? you want our cbd for the weekend, have it, i'll do something else". i'll spare the forum from too many of my thoughts but update this post with some news items perhaps. most of the articles will likely be from brisbanetimes.com.au who are hosting the most stories on the topic at least according to google. i'll also try to leave out the stuff about russia and relations with russia which i've been reading about too. there is too much misrepresentation about that stuff going around and some of the articles about the russian warships in the pacific are just... ugh our media is full of fucking bozos. -video projectors disguised as CCTV cameras designed to project anti-G20 slogans and images on to nearby surfaces installed around southbank weeks before G20 but discovered by police http://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/queensland/brisbane-g20/clandestine-artists-claim-responsibility-for-fake-g20-cctv-cameras-20141113-11m7z3.html -ghost town with pics/comments http://www.news.com.au/finance/economy/g20-brisbane-2014-this-is-what-a-ghost-town-looks-like/story-e6frflo9-1227122713748 -unbelievable list of banned items http://www.brisbanetimes.com.au/queensland/kites-clowns-and-crocs-banned-from-g20-security-zones-20141107-11gnia.html -nasty-ass heatwave strikes SEQLD on G20 weekend http://www.macrobusiness.com.au/2014/11/g20-sunday-forecast-hottest-on-record/ -staging point for aboriginal protesters conveniently closed for asbestos removal days before G20 http://www.abc.net.au/news/2014-11-04/indigenous-locked-out-of-hall-for-g20/5866564 -aboriginals win their hall back for G20 http://www.abc.net.au/news/2014-11-06/jagera-hall-back-down-a-win-for-indigenous/5872854 i think support for aboriginal causes will be quite strong around G20 at least i hope so, and from what i've heard of their plans they aren't going to push their luck and don't want anybody to get hurt/sunburnt/billy-clubbed/imprisoned from any of these links you can forage your way into additional G20 news stories
