What is losing a shoe compared to losing an entire continent?

JULIA Gillard and Tony Abbott have been bundled out of a Canberra restaurant after the building was rushed by Aboriginal protesters today.

The Prime Minister and Opposition Leader were trapped in the building for about 30 minutes as about 100 activists from the nearby Aboriginal Tent embassy banged on windows.

The leaders' were escorted out of The Lobby restaurant by body guards and into a waiting car as protesters were pushed back by a line of Australian Federal Police officers.

Ms Gillard stumbled and lost a shoe as she was rushed from the building, but was unhurt.

The Lobby is just metres away from the Tent Embassy, which was established 40 years ago tomorrow.

1. As I understand it

The comments were made by Mr Abbott, not Gillard.

2. I heard that tent assembly referred to as the "World's Oldest Occupy Site" a few days ago. nt

3. Ms. Gillard wasn't teh one at fault here

Mr. Abbott, who is a huge tool and the opposition leader, was. Also, from what I saw, government security really overreacted. There was no overt threat, just protestors against what ABBOTT said. T

Having said that, the Aboriginal people of Australia have been treated horribly, even worse than our own native people.
