Protest in the High Court

So I am away from my desk for one day and the High court has its most interesting day in months.

In addition to the two judgments handed down, the Court had its first day of hearing in Rowe v Electoral Commissioner. But before the matter was called on for hearing, apparently a protester got up and began yelling about the injustice of it all; jumping from bar table to bench before being dragged out by court staff. Papers are saying the man was wearing a "Liberal shirt" but it is unclear whether he was associated with GetUp!, who are supporting the challenge.

Too bad it didn't get on the transcript.
