Behold the solar industry and all its supporters!

Hardly Al, when holding a protest at the Legislative Assembly I’d say holding it where protests are held is a pretty sensible thing to do.

All protest is a gesture of political impotence. If you’re still in with a shot you’re inside the building having tea and biscuits.

So they’re in the wrong place, the metaphor gets better and better.

Seriously John? I simply read the media release in the article linked to in this thread and it clearly says, right there in the middle of a one page release – no scrolling down required:

ACT SOLAR RALLY 21 JUNE 2011- SOLAR NEEDS A FUTURE
8-9am 21 June 2011,
Members’ entrance carpark,
Legislative Assembly, London Circuit Canberra.

Members’ entrance – that is – where the members enter. Why else would they be there at that time if not to make sure they are seen by the MLAs?

If they got together on the other side (where your photo was taken) you’d be chucking off about how dumb it is to be holding a protest where no-one of importance will see it.

In Johnboy’s defence, the details about the actual location of this event (ie the other side of the building from the photo) were in the media release but required scrolling down to read. They also did not supply a map.

I’m sure the organisers will be able to supply images of the actual event to replace the above photograph and item heading.

According to one of my work colleagues who was there “you are a fool for being there” because it was on the other side of the building where the MLA’s enter.

Alternative energy suppliers using alternative protesting means?

Bwahahahahahahahaha

There are about 20-30 people around the other side of the Legislative Assembly (where the carpark is). I walked past them this morning on my way into work and was wondering what it was all about…
