Scenes From A Protest of the Day: Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard and opposition leader Tony Abbott had to be rushed out of a restaurant in Canberra today by Australian Federal Police officers after a throng of angry protesters threatened to harm them both.

The pair were attending an Australia Day ceremony at The Lobby restaurant, when protesters from the nearby Aboriginal Tent Embassy descended on the establishment to demonstrate their displeasure at Abbott’s remark that it was time for the 40-year-old tent city to “move on.”

Abbott’s comments inflamed tensions already heightened by “Invasion Day” protests organized by indigenous leaders throughout the country.

In the midst of the violence, however, another remarkable scene, as PM Gillard is caught on tape inquiring as to the whereabouts and safety of her political rival. “What about Mr Abbott?” Gillard is heard saying. “Where have you got him? We’d better help him through, hadn’t we?”

The commotion quieted down shortly after Gillard and Abbott cleared out. Protesters are now looking into the possibility of suing Abbott for inciting a riot.

   This is why it’s useful to have friends everywhere. Fact checking is so much easier.

   Gah, I mean yes and no. Both Julia and Tony knew they had a camera on them, as their stilted reactions show. Like, Julia...
