Opposition Leader Tony Abbott is standing by the comments that whipped protesters into a frenzy on Australia Day, prompting bodyguards to evacuate him and Prime Minister Julia Gillard from a Canberra restaurant. Mr Abbott has urged people to go back and listen to the substance of what he said, while senior indigenous leaders have slammed protesters for reacting violently to "pretty timid" remarks.

Watch the guy on the left hand side of the screen as Abbott says it was directed against the government generally@0.52

I wonder if he was there he seems somewhat surprised at this GOOSE sidestepping his role in what occured yesterday,as usual. If you watch the footage where they were rushed out can you see any protestors? or only cameramen being pushed away. The media in its farcical way of beefing up a story How great that this has delivered our Indigenous people on yet another back foot. If we wanted to make blanket statements we too could say parliament no longer serves the same role it did in 1901 bloody goose.
constitutional recognition takes 40 years? Step out of your view of the world and at least consider that it may not exist the same for others.
