Extraordinary scenes: Julia Gillard clings to her bodyguard as she is half-carried away from protesters in Canberra today. (Daily Mail)
Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard was dragged to safety after a mob of aboriginal leftists attacked a restaurant where she was celebrating Australia Day.
You know they were leftists –
They were shouting, “Shame, Shame, Shame!”
The aboriginal mob was trying to get her conservative opponent who was also at the restaurant.
The Daily Mail reported:
Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard clung to her bodyguard as she was dragged to safety through a crowd of angry protesters in Canberra today.
Riot police formed a shield around the prime minister as they helped her force a path through the protesters who surrounded a restaurant where she was attending an awards ceremony to mark Australia Day.
Miss Gillard stumbled after losing a shoe in the scuffle, but was caught by her personal security guard and managed to get into a waiting car.
The protests appear to have been aimed primarily at opposition leader Tony Abbott, who was also in the building when some 200 demonstrators began banging on its windows, shouting ‘shame’ and ‘racist’.
Mr Abbott had angered activists earlier in the day by saying it was time the nearby Aboriginal Tent Embassy ‘moved on’.
The embassy, a ramshackle collection of tents and shelters on the lawn of Parliament House, is at the centre of the campaign for Aboriginal sovereignty and land rights.
Demonstrators had gathered to celebrate its 40th anniversary when they heard that Mr Abbott was nearby.
Didn’t Soros just warn us about escalating #Occupy violence?

At this point, if you’re not being called “racist”, you’re doing something wrong….

I’m not that clear on Oz politics. Isn’t she a crazed leftist though?
Isn’t it like OWS attacking Nancy Pelosi?

Interesting!
Many times I have met trolls on the israeli boards from Australia crying about the “poor so-called Palestinians.”I often ask them what about thier own poor and oppressed native Aborigines? Give them back their “occupied lands,” before you whine about Israel. Of course, in Israel the Jewish people ARE the original aboriginal inhabitants…

Australia Day to Become “Invasion Day”- Labor teaching kids to hate themselves and their country….
Education Minister Peter Garrett will announce today that “the significance of January 26” will become a non-negotiable part of history classes under the new national curriculum.
Yes, but make sure all perspectives are really taught . ..warns Andrew Bolt
The left will not only take us over the cliff, it will take us out of existence!

I thought their PM was a raging socialist, why is she so scared of her own brethren?
JPeden commented:
So, caught running from her own shadow, is she?

Um. The way she clung to him, socialist Gillard looked like she and Obama got married the day he swished through a couple months ago. Her poll numbers collapsed when she rammed thru those carbon indulgences or carbon cap or whatever it is.
This just looks embarassing. Security image malfunction.
And they ARE racist Down Under. Got two American numbahs down there reporting back weekly what they hear daily out of Aussie’s mouths, what would be automatic re-education camp and hate speech in the USA.
They keep their illegal immigrants in an ISLAND prison holding camp. AHem. The conditions are far WORSE than Gitmo. Hullo? Hullo? The Left just can’t be bothered evidently.
Just sayin’.
wanumba commented:
Oh, minimum wage is $16 an hour and the Aussie dollar is close to par with the US dollar, so that’s what it is in USDterms, too. But the entitlement attitude is so high, restaurants/hotels are petitioning to bring in more foreigners who as they explained: “have a work ethic.”
You have to beg for a menu, wave haplessly for half and hour to get the bill and pick up your food yourself at the counter. The Aussies don’t seem to have grasped the concept in waitering and waitressing that food sales is what pays their salaries … and burgers are $20 a plate … at a cheap place. Ketchup packets are 50 cents and must be ordered.
They can’t understand why tourism is so flat. High prices, no service…hmmm.

And some of you liberal fvcktards reading this try to tell us constantly this is a spontaneous movement? Whatever. Hope that socialist b*tch reaps what she and her companions have sown.
This dangerous game has been in the works for quite a while now. Too coordinated and well financed not to be.
I predicting this same type of response from our own Useful Idiots here in the states when the weather starts to turn (it will be called American Spring by the MSM). With any luck, it will eat some of our own treasonous Congressweasels. We could use the enema.
It s going to ugly real fast, as I don’t see SCOAMF making any great inroads with public.

Check out “the revolution business-world” on Youtube. It shows how the #OWies and all the Arab spring folks had behindthe scenes guidance by the Serbians. they learned these demontration techinques due to Mlosevic, who’d kill them. Check out thevid.
your eyes will be opened

You know it really doesnt matter what party you belong to, what line you are running on. When people get this close to an elected representative in the manner these protestors did, they should be arrested. If not, the riots will only get larger and more threatening until something happens…..

::::::::::::::::::::
Exactly. There was a fail when the protestors were pounding on the glass … trespassing and vandalism. The threatening behavior classified as assault. It should have been dealt with THEN. Cleared them out rather than run a gauntlet.
The ignominious flight of the Prime Minister is only humiliating press. The security got too much in the GOGOGO!! mode, so the PM looked helpless and hapless. The chubby thugs are seat parading her lost shoe as a war trophy. A PR and political disaster. Look at ‘em, they’re couch potatoes. From now on it’ll be more professional agitators, results-oriented.
bigL commented:
I am always amazed that these protestors gain access so easily. The guards woud take one look at me or any of my friend’s in Slacks and jogging shoes and we’d be face down. Heh.
But these dirt bags can go right up to the front.
Do’ya think there might be a little help and sympatico feeling from the guards and the restaurant or hotel staff?
Saragosa commented:
“aboriginal leftists”?
You’re certainly a creative one Jim. You can take an issue that is about
Native Land Rights, and turn it into a “Left vs. Right” issue simply because
the counrties leadership is conesrvative. That’s something…
This is an issue in places like Australia and Hawaii, regardless of the political
alignment of the leadership.
Get out more. Learn.
Bill commented:
Understand that Aboriginals have “land rights” …they were awarded about 40% of the Northern Territory land.
The NT is 2.5 times bigger than that little ranch Texas.
Everyone wants more of other people’s money.
