High pressure water cannon for APEC

The NSW Premier, Morris ‘il Duce’ Iemma, has approved of the use of a dangerous high pressure water cannon for the APEC summit. This weapon has been known to blind by tearing eyeballs from skull sockets, but why let minor details like maiming the public interfere with a meeting of mass murderers, polluters and thieves, notwithstanding the assault on Australian values by an Italian fascist!

The introduction of such a weapon in a civilian context constitutes a very dark day for all Australia – a nation ONCE known for its civil liberties, free speech, social freedoms, egalitarian ideal and mateship.

The utilisation of this weapon is clearly an undisguised introduction to police state methodologies and social oppression.

An obvious tactic to circumvent these weapons of social terror is simply to protest guerilla style – choosing the time, place and method without prior notification. No one has ever succeeded in eliminating the voice of the people, have they, il Duce?
