WCMO is unpublished protest crippling city and monopolising Police resources so a small number of people can march.
Caught bus into city this morning, met friends for lovely brunch, nice walk from Barangaroo to the Quay, icecream. No signage anyway warning of road closures. No trains running on the city circle or north sydney line.
We had to walk all the way to Central to get a bus to go east, south or inner west.
Taxis and Ubers couldn't get passengers to hotels, a huge cruise was boarding passengers anyone who hadn't got there by midday would have a long way to lug cases from central.
Never seen so many cops not even on NYE or Anzac March, not sure why they had to close access to George, Pitt, Castlereagh, Elizabeth and all cross streets from Circular Quay to Eddy Ave.
Spoke with some of the coppers who said were expecting violence, but were getting sick of explaining to tourists (2 massive cruise ships in port) that walking was only option.
I can't see this helping their cause, all it does is piss off locals and tourists, doesn't impact politicans one iota.
If there had been signage at the bus stops this morning we would have caught ferry to Balmain and picked up buses there.
