Dick Cheney closes down Sydney postal services
February 22nd, 2007Those who are sick of living with a conga line of army helicopters flying around Sydney streets because of Dick Cheney’s visit will be pleased to know that authorities are now locking off Post boxes in the city centre.
Australia Post advises that indeed this is because of Mr Cheney. People wanting to post letters can still go down to the GPO in Martin Place.
On top of that, police are advising people to avoid the city from Thursday night until Sunday when the world’s foremost neo-con and architect of the
Iraq disaster leaves our shores.
According to the Sydney Morning Herald:
“The traffic problems will begin at 5.30pm (Thursday) when protesters from the Stop the War Coalition will march from Town Hall and move down George Street.
“The protesters will also demonstrate on Friday morning at the Shangri-la Hotel in The Rocks, where Mr Cheney is scheduled to speak to the Australian American Association.
“Cumberland, Gloucester and Essex Streets in the Rocks will be closed due to the visit until Sunday morning.”
Consider that an invitation to join the demonstrations.
