WHO'S SARI NOW?
This guy, possibly.
UPDATE. Mr. Sari faces additional charges.
Nah, this guy’s story really seems to be too much! He’s GOTTA be another Young Liberal who’s come along and done their very best to help scare away the silent majority from the Left side of politics for the next few years at least. Certainly would make being a politician a hell of a lot easier if your opponents are acting like a bunch of shit-chucking monkeys.
Am I not the only one out there who hasn’t seriously considered this as a possibility?!?! :-P
Posted by richard20_bris on 2006 11 20 at 09:22 AM • permalinkHow can someone choose to come to a capitalist country (as it seems he did when he left Turkey as an adult) and then protest against the capitalism he chose?
Get a clue, mate: the reason Australia looked so good to you is in large part because of the benefits capitalism and globalisation have brought.
Posted by Villeurbanne on 2006 11 20 at 09:41 AM • permalinkWell if Sari or any other protester looks like the effete person in a tutu with slim hairless arms and shoulders, he will be very popular in jail. He will not have to want for companionship. Indeed I can see a riot occuring between large hairy men who desire the chance to meet these “indivudals of conscience”.
Posted by wronwright on 2006 11 20 at 09:44 AM • permalinkMore info on this tool from Andrew Bolts blog - he presented a workshop titled Disobediance - Crime or Political Stand
FTW - "I want to discuss and present history, origins and relevance of civil disobediant act. I also want to encourage participants to form an organisation practising civil dibobediant activism against morally unjust acts..."
Think he’s figured out the answer yet?
Really, this is beginning to sound like one of those episodes from Wodehouse where Bertie Wooster, charged with some piddling crime like stealing a policeman’s helmet on Boat-Race night, gives his name as “Aristotle”, and fobs off the address of the Royal Albert Hall as his own. Just send the guy back to Turkey, I say.
I’d hate to see how he made his one phone call if he used a cell phone.
Posted by andycanuck on 2006 11 20 at 10:49 AM • permalink#9, I believe a common nom de guerre for these situations in Wodehouse is “Orlando Maltravers.” That’s always the name I give when, er… uh, never mind. I also recall Bertie claiming to be Leon Trotsky.

Another sterling result in that long line of consequences from Australia’s immigration policies. Circumspect and pre-emptive they’re not.
Can DIMIA finally begin screening intending immigrants for character and psychological suitability yet?
#22 “Can DIMIA finally begin screening intending immigrants for character and psychological suitability yet?”
He arrived here in 2001 and has already hit the jackpot. He’s on a disability pension due to psychological issue, i.e. he’s a nut-case.
Isn’t Australia a “wunnerful country” as my Greek mate would say.This might need confirmation, but Channel 9 news last night described Sari as being in receipt of a disability pension: judging by his van-smashing ability, the disability is not physical. They also quoted him as saying to the cop driving the car in which he was taken away: “Can you turn the air conditioning off? It’s causing global warming.”
I think the police did pretty well - they protected the G20, they did not in any way trigger or provoke any violence, and largely kept the peace. The only violence seems to have been from people who went there planning to be violent, and I haven’t seen any reports of muggings, looting, or other major loss of civil order.
My understanding of the police’s normal mission is
1. Prevent violence against people
2. Protect property when compatible with 1
These constitute keeping the police
3. Enforce laws in ways compatible with 1 and 2Arresting people who are in groups tends to trigger more severe violence. Identifying them and arresting them afterwards defuses things. Now they’ll work to track down offenders.
My personal inclination is to have them grab every person in a mask and disguise and jail them immediately, but I accept that what they did achieves their mission better.
Affray brings an interesting turn to this- if convicted, it’s an indictment and his residence can be cancelled. We have enough home-grown hippy fruitcups without sponsoring ones from the Levant- I’d say it’s bye bye for ol’ Sari, no matter if he’s sorry- he should be akin’ to get back to Istanbul anyway.
Hey, here’s an idea:
Lets just send him to Gitmo. I’m sure a nice cage is far better than ‘no fixed address’. Also he gets a pair of them snazzy orange coveralls…
Posted by The_Wizard_of_WOZ on 2006 11 20 at 09:59 PM • permalinkI pray he’s about to get a valuable practical commerce lesson. He is one prisoner with one arse. The are a 1000 other prisoners who have many dicks. What does this supply and demand curve look like?
Is this product elastic or inelastic?
Anyone who’s a student at 28 better be contributing a hell of lot more than body odour to society.

Posted by Nilknarf Arbed on 2006 11 20 at 11:22 PM • permalinkIs he Sari? After all he is famous and has his “insanity” defence already underway. These ratbags live in a self-sustaining world. He will already be a hero to the rest of the ratbags and the Magistrate will probably let him off with a bond plus he will have an excuse for a deferral on his exams in fact now that I think about it the university will probably give him a pass mark in appreciation.
Send the @rsehole packing… The judge/magistrate, as is their self appointed mission these days, won’t uphold the law, won’t punish this swine and will let him off with a slap on the wrist....
We need someone with some balls from DIMA or whoever is looking after immigration these days to be waiting outside the court, nab him and ship poste haste to the nearest point of departure and give him a royal kick up the behind…
Seize any meagre goods or possessiosn this @ss ever managed to accumulate and use them to pay for said plane ticket and accumulated hecs debt, and if he wants to lodge an appeal, mail it from Turkey… Needless to say they should be cancelling his pension as we speak.... Don’t need that when your in remand do u!!!!
What an excellent lesson this would post to any thugs, foreign or home grown, contemplating this sort of thing in the future that the kid gloves are going to be off and retribution will be exacted…

Followed your link with interest. Came across this little gem:
Highly efficient alternative bathing tech-
niques - Murray AllenI’ve developed an alternative bathing tech-
nique that I’ve been using for about three
years, that allows one to have a perfectly rea-
sonable ‘shower’ using only 3 litres of water,
instead of the usual 120, which is the aver-
age. I can discuss and compare my simple
technology with all of the other alternatives
out there- main stream and those that are
less common, arguing that my method is by
far the most superior in terms of water, soap,
electricity and resource consumption, and
also in terms of the style of technology that is
most just and sustainable- simple, low tech,
and locally produced. I can also talk on the
psychological aspects of people’s choices
with regard to this technology. If appropriate, I
could also do a demonstration (wearing a pair
of shorts of course!)Yewwwwwww!
He called the police “peasant pigs”? Peasants? I’m confused, are we dealing with a socialist idiot or Loius XIV here?

There’s a difference?
I’m serious—the frequency with which socialists spout elitist crap is simply stunning.
Posted by Rob Crawford on 2006 11 21 at 08:30 AM • permalinkhe’s an anti-globalwarmenization guy too
Sari, who holds dual Australian and Turkish citizenship, denied his involvement in the protest to police, who he allegedly referred to as “peasant pigs” and “robots”.
He also allegedly asked police to turn the airconditioner off in their car because it was “causing global warming”.
Kramer hates low-flow showers, too, BIWOZ. (Oh no, another Seinfeld‘s Kramer tie-in. No wonder he went nuts on stage; there was obviously a Kramer karma bubble forming worldwide that needed release!)

- Thats because they actually believe they are “better” than “the rest” of us…I personally believe that I’m better than them, because I cant shoot further…
P.S. Do Y’all aim for the head, or the heart?

So what is the total number of arrests so far?
“Student of no fixed address” is at least upmarket of the old cliche “labourer of no fixed address”.
