The G-20 are having a meeting in Melbourne this week. It's all happening at the Grand Hyatt, right next door to our offices. We've been told to work from home whenever we can, in case the usual lentil-munchers, bunny huggers and other assorted soap dodgers make too much of a scene.

It's Australia, so I suspect there'll be strong words, frank exchanges of opinion, and very little real trouble. The weather's crap, so most of the beret-wearing Sartre-quoting tax liabilities will probably stay in the cafes, smoking Gitanes and munching croissants. It beats getting pepper-sprayed in freezing rain, and the dole cheques come through just the same.
