'Canadian' Motorcade Carrying
Osama Bin Laden Enters Sydney's Ultra Security Zone, Stops Near
Bush Hotel

Thursday September 6, 2007
The stars of the satirical sketch comedy show The Chaser promised
they would deliver something "extreme" during the week
long Sydney lockdown for the APEC summit of world leaders.
And they've pulled off a stunning breach of security, driving
a three car, fake Canadian motorcade close within 30 feet of President
Bush's hotel before being pulled over police.
When the motorcade stopped, a cast member jumped out, dressed
as Osama Bin Laden. His beard was confiscated by police. Detectives
and police were seen chatting and laughing with members of The
Chaser after the arrests.
11 crew members and two stars of The Chaser are now being held
by police.
If police are prepared to use the full force of the law against
the comedy team for purposely breaching the ultra-security zone,
inside the now notorious Sydney Cage, they could find themselves
in some very deep, very serious shit.

Expect fuming outrage from the prime minister, the shock jocks
and the eternally outraged columnists of the Daily Telegraph and
the Herald Sun. Piers Akerman, Alan Jones and Andrew Bolt will
be frothing and livid at such mockery of authority.
Most of the rest of Sydney will bust a gut and give a cheer for
The Chaser for bringing some comedy relief and a good laugh to
the miserable, repressive atmosphere forced on us by the blocked
roads, blocked footpaths, snipers leaning out of hovering helicopters
and the endless violations of privacy thousands of workers in
the city are being subjected to on a daily basis, with demands
to see ID, physical searches in city streets and briefcases and
handbags opened and emptied.
While the police are hassling people trying to get to work, or
to lunch, or get back to the office, a motorcade cruises by carrying
'Osama Bin Laden'.
What else can you say but "Brilliant!":
Chaser crew members were initially detained in their cars while
"police on the ground'' waited for special units to arrive,
Taylor said.
Riot squad police formed a cordon around a Corrective Services
truck where Morrow, Licciardello and about ten crew and extras
were detained.
The Chaser convoy had been dressed up to look like an official
Canadian motorcade, with Canadian flags attached to the cars and
"Canada'' signs visible in the front windscreen.
"No particular reason we chose Canada," said Taylor.
"We just thought they'd be a country who the cops wouldn't
scrutinise too closely, and who feasibly would only have three
cars in their motorcade - as opposed to the 20 or so gas guzzlers
that Bush has brought with him."
The vehicles in the motorcade were hired - two were black "SUVs"
imported from the US, and the other was a regular car.
Police superintendent Ken McKay confirmed the pair had been arrested
for breaching the restricted zone.
The arrests had been made using new powers available under the
APEC Act, he said.
So much for all a couple of hundred million dollars worth of
ultra-security to keep world leaders safe from terrorists.
A television comedy team easily got through the 'steel wall',
they didn't even have to get out of their cars.
Meanwhile, confused Japanese tourists are told they can't take
photos of Sydney landmarks because of "national security".
So if The Chaser can do it, why haven't all these terrorists,
posing such dire terrorist threats that Sydney needs to become
a mini-police state, tried giving something similar a shot?
Because the dire threat is all but non-existent in Australia?
Because the ultra-security clampdown is really more about teaching
an entire city, filled with dissenters, what it's like to be stripped
of their rights, privacy and dignity?
Or is it because when you give security and police forces hundreds
of millions of dollars to make up their own laws and to fence
off a huge section of one of the world's most famous cities, chaos
and madness will always result?
The Chaser comedy team from ABC TV are about to become world
famous thanks to this brilliant stunt. And police now find themselves
in something of a fascinating quandary.
How they can bust these guys, using the full force of the law,
when they simply showed how easy it is to get by all those layers
of ultra-security and drive right up to President Bush's hotel?
Incredibly embarrassing, and incredibly funny. Can't wait to
see the footage.
If we ever see the footage.
