Good to see the obligatory anti nuke black garbed skeleton thingie turn up.

I’ve always loved that costume.

I came thru there on a bus at about 9.10am. From where I could see, the line of people in red stretched all the way around. It was pretty impressive actually.

Great to see the lefty hippies doing their thing. While the rest of us were at work.

Just had another scroll through JB’s photo-set. Hippy/hippie count = zero.

Point out one (Mr Skeleton notwithstanding).

Apart from the uniform red, it looks like a crowd at Floriade.

They’re hippies on the inside.

Hooray! The climate is saved after all!!

: )

So what? I’m a hippie on the inside.

But I have to admit that listening to a woman representing “Families Fearing Climate Change” talk to Fran Kelly on Radio National yesterday sprout about the need to convert to 100% renewable energy by 2010 (i.e. next year!) I wondered about their choice of spokesperson…

I wonder about any lobbying group with ‘families’ in the title.

“Meat Eating: major cause of of global warming! Well, it looks like they were all out this morning.

A ring around the APH – my God, what a ground breaking action and statement. If only they could have followed the growing trend at the APH and practice some self immolation.

…what’s that song by Johnny Cash again?

So lame.

I must go look at some photos from Summernats. Maybe they’re really hippies on the inside too.

I don’t quite get this Go green, Go Veg rubbish. Surely if we stopped eating our tasty bovine friends, they would multiply exponentially and cause even more damage. Unless they believe we should kill them all and ummmm, age them and bbq them…

I went veg once. It tasted like pork.

I love vegetarian food, it goes great with a nice steak.

How do I insert the sound of a fishing line being reeled in…?

ppsszzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

the biggest cause of man made global warming, is man.

therefore we should kill everybody. i think that this would also solve the global financial crisis, gaza problems, whaling….

No, they’re meat on the inside!

The only ring around Parliament House would have been the tide mark left by all the dirt off the great unwashed in attendance today.

I used to be a vegetarian but my membership card expired and I had to revert.

There’s a Facebook site for an alternative version of PETA = People Eating Tasty Animals.

Including fish (caught using rods, reels and/or nets!)

One mustn’t call them fish any more. They are now Sea Kittens.

I think JB mentioned that they didn’t quite complete their ring of green (or red) as there wasn’t enough people to do so.

So more of a mob than a ring.

Well I hear that after the press conference they did actually get around the building.

yeah, I didn’t see the update…

the biggest cause of global warming is thermometers – we should destroy every source of measuring heat and then we’d not be worried…

a red ring around parliament – sounds a bit too commie, innit? not hippies, commies. mccarthy would be spinning in his gravy.

I agree that we need to get rid of fossil fuel power stations and switch to greenhouse friendly technologies.

Let the building of the nuclear power stations begin.

I think this is a little simplistic. The real reason is the lack of an ice age.

Ah the old Hitchikers Guide solution…
I’m sure Andrew Bolt’s already onto that one astrojax!

yeah, you must be working hard to comment at 10.21 am.

A lot of people took leave from their jobs to attend today.

Well, this middle-class, middle-aged office drone took time off and attended, rather than snidely feeling superior. I thought it was about time democracy involved more than slagging off our elected reps from the safety of anonymous RiotAct logins.

hear hear!
It’s like I said before, climate change affects everyone. Doesnt matter what your political/social beliefs are, everyone needs oxygen and water to survive.
If we don’t use this opportunity to act, to protect our environment and home, when will we?
