What was happening in Civic on City Walk today?

I was coming back from a lovely walk around the lake at about 1pm today when I saw that there were lots of police (atleast 20) that were standing around and had roped off a whole section of City Walk (between Akuna street and the water fountain).

I couldn’t see anything obvious …. but does anyone else know what was happening?

PBO: Your package is in the white van with flashing orange lights… if you wait until the van has turned its light off and then drive past fast then the owners will send you a letter in the mail with their contact details. They will charge you a substantial fee for this service so I would suggest that you be a little more careful with where you leave your packages in the future.

I don’t want to see your suspicious package. Leave me alone.

Has anyone seen where i left my suspicious package?

Special G thank you for your constructive comment, I appreciate your explanation – makes alot more sense and has a better outcome than people being knobs and bagging someone for not knowing what was appropriate to post.

poolroom!

LisaGrace – the WHAT WAS GOING ON articles are generally viewed dimly as you are not bringing anything to the site.

Since JB left Riot content is now based largely on what people bring themselves to the site otherwise it simply degrades what is on offer here. Do some investigations and then post up a story as in ‘I saw a Police convention due to a suspicious package’ whatever just add something constructive..

I don’t know but I MUST KNOW NOW!

Go away, you can’t play.

Is this a mother’s morning tea or a game of I spy?

It’s got to be one.

The same place as the white van with flashing orange lights… stay tuned.

*LOL* Welcome to RiotACT LisaGrace.

Always make a post with low expectations on the quality of reply. You will either be pleasantly surprised or come away with a warm feeling of knowing you were right not to expect much.

ahh its good to see vg back to his insightful and helpful self 🙂

instead of any constructive comments, the thread degenerated into a juvenile name-calling waste of time which ended up being closed down by the moderators.

Welcome to RiotACT…

I know what happened that day, a whole bunch of people going about their own business.

thank you to those of you who answered my question, thats all I wanted.

To everyone else, whats the problem? I was interested to know what was going on and I knew that if I asked here someone would know. There have been lots of posts similar to mine in the past, so why is this one such a problem?

Here’s a revelation Lisa.

62567777. That’s the Police number. 131444 the Police Attendance Line. Why don’t you ring them and ask. If they won’t tell you then it doesn’t concern you.

I saw a plane flying overhead today. What the hell was going on with that? Who were they, where were they going? I MUST KNOW!

I know what’s going on… Canberra is full of wankers (myself probably included).

I hear you, lisagrace!
I posted a similar thread last week about something that was going on in Civic and instead of any constructive comments, the thread degenerated into a juvenile name-calling waste of time which ended up being closed down by the moderators.
I still don’t know what was going on….

Mods, I think we need a new category of post titled – What the?

Ant, once again you show our senior citizens have a sense of humour. An extra arrowroot biscuit for you with your warm milk this afternoon.

Civicgate 2008…. the truth is out there….

I saw a Police car driving on Northbourne Avenue, does anybody know why it was there and what was going on?

Today I bought a cup of coffee

nobody has mentioned the donut convention yet?!

people are too stupid these days, everytime a forgetful person leaves their shopping somewhere someone calls every emergency service they can think of, go pick up the package and have a look to see what it is geez.

Look, there’s Superman!

Suspicious package.

The suspicious package/bomb scare story sounds a lot more plausible than the rumours of a bank robbery at the Bank of Queensland to me. Of course, I could be wrong…

Suspicious package at NRMA shopfront.

There was a protest against the building of a Gas plant and there was a bomb scare somewhere in the City too…
