Julia Gillard 'rescued' amid Australia Day protests

Australian PM Julia Gillard and leader of the opposition Tony Abbott had to be rescued after becoming trapped by an angry protest, local media reports.

About 50 police escorted the pair from Canberra's Lobby restaurant after it was surrounded by some 200 supporters of the city's Aboriginal Tent Embassy.

Australia is one of the largest poultry and meat suppliers to Qatar and the neighbouring states so trouble out there may increase the rates you pay for your daily food items...

It's okay if they attack the so-called 'leaders'. They have been around long enough now.
