A well balance report, that didn't deny the force the protestors used but explained why they were protesting. It even articlulated them as being against 'economic globalisation' as opposed to simply 'globalisation', an important distinction no other news report made clear. It's intro was almost biased against the WEF, describing it as 'a meeting of the world's top corporate bosses', though it did soon after state that the Forum was a meeting of government and business. Also it highlighted that the public perception of globalisation is important.

Newsreader intro: thousands of people opposed to economic globalisation have taken to the streets of melbourne to protest outside a meeting of the world's top corporate bosses. Police and protestors clashed violently, with two protestors arrested. Inside, governments and big business were told they failed to persuade people of the advantages of globalisation.

Dennis Grant, reporter:

- they represented a variety of causes but united to block Melbourne's Crown Casino, the venue for the WEF. Crowd chant 'the world is watching' and they shown stopping delegates from entering.

- Richard Court was stuck in his car for almost an hour. Voice of aborignal WA protestor (though not named) Ivan Wyatt-Ring on the bonnett, 'this is how you kept us for 200 years!'

- ambulance officers found themselves caught up in the protest. Same i/v footage of ambulance officer Paul Holman as on 10, describing how keys were stolen.

- Vict. opposition leader, who had to climb over a barricade said Vict. police could have done more. Steve Bracks praised the force. Peter Costigan, Lord Mayor of Melb.:'I'm sadenned that there are a smallgroup of Melburnians who are opposed to free speech. i think it's appaling.'

- one third of delegates were kept out, but inside it was business as usual. Speakers acknowledged the opposition to globalisation, but say its advance is irresistable. Kenneth Courtis, of investment bankers Goldman Sachs:'it can be slowed down, it can be guided in certain directions, but the power of those movements of demographics, of technological change of globalisationare just so strong they will shape policy, rather than the other way around'.

- David Glanz, S11 Alliance spokesperson:'we have delivered what we promised. It has been a victory.'
