SYDNEY — At 8am on January 31, Dean Jefferys and Marlene Obeid scaled the Sydney Opera House to display three huge banners in protest at the Australian government's support for a US attack on Iraq. The banners read: “No war against Iraq, No Australian involvement”; “Listen John, Not In My Name 94%”; and “Iraq = Vietnam”. Obeid and Jefferys were arrested by police and charged with “placing a banner on a public building”. They will appear in court on February 28.
