KP's Funeral, and the arrests outside
Why take a cheap shot at a man who's already been dead and buried. To make a point no doubt, and the rabid left have a nasty habit of these stunts. Members of the Kerry Packer Dis-Memorial Collective, interfered with the arrival of guests. The usual bunch of suspects including the Socialist Alternative (SA) and The Refugee Action Collective made up the numbers.
The NSW convenor of SA told smh.com.au:
"The complaint was from security that the protesters were yelling at the guests
coming in, where in fact it was them yelling at us, telling us to fuck off."
Update from the comments section:
"Pity you can neither read nor think, mate. Fertl is the NSW convenor of the Socialist Alliance." Point made, see comments for further debate.
Thats the unwashed left's modus operandi. Never admit to anything and blame everybody else. Duroyan Fertl: you're missing the point. You should never have been there in the first place, and that's why people were yelling abuse at you. That's if I take you at your word. Knowing how these guys operate you probably:
- accused Kerry of being a bourgeois pig
- told guests they were supporting an evil capitalist empire
- pranced around like hippies
The mourners were there to pay their respects to someone. They didn't come to discuss the world as you see it. Do you seriously expect them to waltz past without a word. Even the harder SL types inside would have been embarassed. I'm just glad you didn't get inside the Concert Hall, to disrupt the service itself.
When given an ultimatum by police, the group chose the hard way and were promptly arrested.
As it turns out, this strikes a little closer to home. Andrew Landeryou has a photo of what appears to be NUS Education Officer Louise O'Shea (yes, sister of Lizzie "Flag Burner" O'Shea) at the protests. The OC claims she was arrested. I guess that would make her the 25 year old Enmore woman charged with hindering police, resisting arrest and ignoring police requests.
To think my compulsory fees are paying her salary. I'll be watching to make sure the NUS does not underwrite her defence along the old "I'm allowed to do whatever the hell I please to get media attention" argument. You were being a general nuisance and, depending on past offences, I'd expect you to cop between a fine and community service.

Fertl is the NSW convenor of the Socialist Alliance, (http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2006/02/17/1140064234795.html) not the loopies of Socialist Alternative (who, as usual, got themselves in the way in order to get locked up).
Regardless, the event was paid for by the Australian public, so the protesters were well within their rights to "attend".
But then, you're nor interested in the rights of people who don't see the world the way that you and your myopic friends do. Democracy IS such a drag, isn't it?
Oh, the differences between two groupings (can't call them factions) of the left that I really don't like. SAlli vs SAlt.
I admit the mistake. That covers me not being able to read. I can equally understand why the left confuse liberal students and young liberals.
Secondly, I hope the vanity searching continues. Only #37 on the google list. It amazes me how people find this website, you can check for yourself at the bottom for incoming searches. I don't intend on writing a biography on Fertl.
As for the question of public funds, no denial there either. Let the man rest in peace. I know its hard being on the lunatic fringe of political thinking in this country, but good common sense is always a good guide. For your sake, let me qualify that to MAINSTREAM common sense.
Tell you what: at my funeral, you can have a whole section outside the building (be it church or Opera House) set aside for you to yell abuse at my corpse and my (aged) myopic friends. I'll even pay for it. But comrade, I'd want decorum. If that means you need two police squads to contain you, (and your aged but incredibly vocal friends in arms) so be it.
The droning of C'Mon Aussie C'Mon was a little odd, admittedly.
