Dear NSWPolice, the real criminals are the bankers in their towers, not the people on the street. Go arrest them at dawn, not #OccupySydney |

Protesters of #occupysydney should hold their heads high. They have given a voice & shape to what millions feel: That the system is broken. |

Wow. #OccupySydney camp destroyed by police within 15 minutes after a dawn raid. 50 arrested. Taking lessons from Doyle, Clover? #auspol |

Peaceful people that I spent my afternoon with yesterday have been set upon by @nswpolice riot & bomb squads. Unbelievable. #occupysydney |

Raiding a peaceful protest at 5am without notice – new low. Whether you agree with #occupysydney or not, I thought this was a free country? |
