I figured since it is my country and my city that I wanted to start this discussion, so I did.

What are we hoping to see come out of it?
Do we actually expect what we hope to come about, or is actual progress a pipe dream?
Do we expect Canada levels of protests, or will the Australian sun keep them at home?
Who will have the most embarrassing gaff of the event?

Let's hear it, and lets keep it civil.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/622240/7337471.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/622240/7337471.page GMT The G20 is coming. Hide the cattle and prepare to shirtfront!
In short, absolutley nothing, other than the inconvenience of hosting the event itself.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/622240/7337475.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/622240/7337475.page GMT Re:The G20 is coming.

I really think it will be a pointless meeting like last time. I hope the Chasers attempt another breach in security. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/622240/7337491.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/622240/7337491.page GMT The G20 is coming.

I expect no significant policy changes one way or the other for countries that attend, although they will obviously make statements to the contrary.

Revealed, the next rank of faceless political overlords will rise from the ranks and debate endlessly about imposing sanctions on the wildlife of Australia, until such time as oil is discovered when America will declare that the sheep need saving from their oppressive and deadly overlords and invade to seize the oil... erm... restore peace and democracy for all Australian sheep... they will drag along as many people as they can con or strong arm into supporting them.

Trapped in a war... erm... "conflict" they did not properly prepare for which ends up dragging on for years and costing trillions and killing tens of thousands of innocents, America will declare itself the winner and go home.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/622240/7337885.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/622240/7337885.page GMT Re:The G20 is coming.

Russia has sent a fleet of warships towards Australia in an apparent display of muscle-flexing ahead of the G20 meeting amid tensions between the two countries over the MH17 crash.

Defence announced late on Wednesday it is "monitoring Russian naval vessels that are currently transiting through international waters to the north of Australia".

It stressed: "The movement of these vessels is entirely consistent with provisions under international law for military vessels to exercise freedom of navigation in international waters."

So that's interesting, I didn't know they did this every so often with their navy. It's certainly one way to show off.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/622240/7351499.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/622240/7351499.page GMT
