Politics, Activism, Culture and Fun in Brisbane, Australia.
How will we take over the world and run it ourselves
instead of having to work for the bosses who own everything?
One thing's for sure - we'll need exciting, powerful,
curious and free people on our side, not the boring pseudo-left

Bring Back The Biff 1 - Kangaroos v British Lions Rugby League Test Match - Lang Park (Suncorp Stadium), Brisbane, Australia, November 18th 2006

The police were called to eject the man with hair in the White T-Shirt, and the man in a black and white striped shirt at the bottom left of the picture. I think the striped-shirt guy had made an offensive comment to a female friend of the bald guy in the white shirt and the guy in the green T-shirt.

When the policeman arrived, he mistakenly attacked the bald guy first, before the security guard told him who actually had to be kicked out.


Bring Back The Biff 2 - Kangaroos v British Lions Rugby League Test Match - Lang Park (Suncorp Stadium), Brisbane, Australia, November 18th 2006

As the guy in the striped T-shirt was leaving, he couldn't help himself - he made an arrogant comment to the guy in the green T-shirt, who took a swing. The security guard to the left of the picture just kept escorting him out of there.


Fan runs onto field - Kangaroos v British Lions Rugby League Test Match - Lang Park (Suncorp Stadium), Brisbane, Australia, November 18th 2006

The man in blue in the far left of the picture is a fan who ran onto the field. He is being chased by a man in a bright yellow top at the far right of the picture.

The fan made it to about the 10-metre line at the other end of the stadium and got over the fence safely. I'm not sure if he made a clean getaway or if he got caught.
