"Canberra News, Views and Opinion"
Two containers tipped on their ends have recently appeared in the carpark adjacent to the Belconnen Community Bus station, fronting Benjamin Way.

As for purpose, I’m going to guess it’s a Labor plan to replicate this: http://meninblack.wikia.com/wiki/Statue_of_Liberty – push of a button and all memory of the GDE is gone! We’re through the looking glass people.
