Qld Civil Liberties say the cultural events organised around the G20 will likely be impossible to get to because most of the inner city will be in lock down -- the idiocy of governments! And: QCCL president Michael Cope said the council was concerned that while media attention is focused on the spectre of violent protests from anarchist groups, there was little publicity around the police powers. He said this could lead to a repeat of the G20 summit in Toronto in 2010, where simple non-compliance with those extraordinary powers was a factor contributing to the 1,100 arrests made. “One of the reasons for the many arrests in Toronto is that people didn’t know the full extent of police powers and as a result many people assuming the police still had their ordinary powers refused to comply,” he said.
