Good call. I've just gotten off the phone to my brother in Sydney and said that only small of the CBD was being sealed off.

True but it's still the CBD and being made to feel like you've been locked in a cage every time you walk down the main street is bound to generate some justifiable resentment amongst the people who live here.

This is also on top of having the motorways blocked off anytime Bush, Putin or the Chinese PM want to take their 20 car motorcades anywhere, and having literally the whole damn city shut down on Friday.

There's not really much in it for the people who actually live here...
