Australian Prime Minister's car pelted with eggs
Protesters pelted Australian prime minister John Howard’s car with eggs and plastic bottles as he arrived at a lavish dinner today to celebrate 10 years in power.
Members of the Socialist Party, the National Union of Students and trade unionists staged a noisy demonstration outside the Melbourne mansion where supporters of Howard’s centre-right Liberal Party had paid $10,000 Australian dollars (€6,199) each to attend the gala dinner.
