We called by the Free Julian Assange Rally outside the Sydney Town Hall the other day. There was something for everyone, including a woman with kooky sunglasses blowing bubbles across the crowd. I read that there were 500 people there, but when we turned up not long after the official starting time, there would have been barely 100 people there. The police looked bored and most of the placards were really promoting other political causes. I really don't think Australians care enough to rally about most things. We are pretty isolated geographically from the rest of the world... and hey its summer time, there are plenty of other outdoor activities to keep us amused.
