On the Offense

(Fox News) - Security preparations are underway in Sydney, Australia for the 21-nation APEC summit this week, but the country's Communist Party — that's right, Australia's Communist Party — is up in arms over the security fence that will run through the capital's central business district.

Communist Party spokesman Peter Symon called the concrete and wire fence, "A wall of shame and undemocratic" and has dubbed the barrier "The Great Wall of Sydney." The Communist Party has called upon all Australians to protest outside the summit.

Prime Minister John Howard said those who plan to protest are hypocrites who hate economic growth and said the protesters — not foreign leaders — were the reason for the tight security.
