It's indeed going to be a summer of protest. This episode helped to articulate some pretty distict differences of opinion between First Nations peoples, I think a very engaging and legitimate debate. Of course Prentice plays to old "there is no excuse for unlawful behaviour" crap. I was not unimpressed with Ramsay, though, who seemed to have at least the intelligence connect civil disobediance with social change.
