Anti--Carbon tax rally Blacktown
Beautiful day for a peaceful rally with great speakers and protesters
....................................................................................................................................................
The Foxtel news had vision of the Blacktown anti-carbon tax rally saying "thousands" attended.
The Foxtel side bar printed story was very much pro carbon tax
......................................................................
"THE RALLIES (in Hyde park and Brisbane) WERE LAUNCHED TO COUNTER AN AGRESSIVE ANTI-TAX RALLY OUTSIDE PARLIAMENT HOUSE LATE LAST MONTH, WHEN PROTESTERS HURLED INSULTS AND SHOOK OFFENSIVE PLACARDS AIMED AT PRIME MINISTER JULIE GILLARD"
"GRASS ROOTS ADVOCACY GROUP GETUP SAID THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD NOT BE SWAYED BY A VOCAL MINORITY THAT'S AGAINST THE TAX"
....................................................................................................................................................
GetUp a "GRASS ROOTS" advocacy group, yea right.
......................................................................
As happened with the pink batt "get rich quick" scheme, the crooks will come out to play when this carbon thing gets going....

So what was it, thousands or hundreds?
The Getup rally in Brisbane a "grass roots" advocacy group that get handed posters to wave about.
Much like at the Sydney Getup rally
compared to the violent extremists below who are against a carbon tax.
Bring out the riot squad and the water cannon.
