G20 resistance all but evaporates in Brisbane heatwave Policing for the G20 summit in Brisbane this past weekend was of overkill proportions. There was very little in the way of serious resistance, the Guardian reported that cops (6,000) outnumbered protesters and only 14 arrests were made. One of these was Irish-Australian Manning and Assange solidarity and anti-war activist Ciaron O'Reilly, who has been held in custody all weekend and will be brought before Brisbane Magistrates on Monday morning.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5 6Ciaron was freed on bail this morning after appearing before Brisbane magistrates.
Next court hearing 4 December.
Some of us in Ireland well remember Ciaron's interesting and deeply felt contributions to Irish activity and public awareness raising. Clearly the Aussie police were over reacting to his vocal and visual presence on the streets of Brisbane. Good luck Ciaron and hoping you get out into the sunshine soon. We need thousands like you everywhere.
Ciaron hope you are well. Thanks for speaking out for us all at the G20.
A demonised Putin who gave sanctuary to snowden might have been listening
but I doubt the rest of them were.
Obama was spewing his usual cold war Orwellian language lies and nonsense
All they seem to care about is getting this TTIP passed more quickly
and killing off any remaining pockets of resistance to the US system
of perpetual war, free market fascism for the ordinary people
and corporate and financial socialism for the rich.
Hope we see you again here soon. Irish are finally showing signs of waking up a little.
After years of frustration trying to wake them up, you of all people might
appreciate it!
Brisbane is probably one of the more conservative Australian cities and the police aren't particularly fond of the Irish or anybody of Irish extraction at the best of times. It's definitely more of a 'Pommie' friendly part of Oz. More proof that the police forces of various countries are essentially in the employ of the elites.
Well done,Ciaron. Never relent.
Along with a handful of others arrested during the G20 protests, Ciaron O'Reilly appeared at Brisbane Magistrates court on 4 December. The case was adjourned to 21 January.
