Small protest locks down two government buildings in Brisbane TWO government buildings have been locked down during a Brisbane city protest march by about 20 people. Police have refused to say who was marching or why, but said there were no arrests. Two police motorcycles escorted the protesters who had a permit for the rally. Despite the relatively small group, steps were taken to secure government buildings at 111 George Street and 33 Charlotte Street during the lunchtime protest. During the march no one was allowed to enter or leave the buildings, for about 20 minutes to half an hour. Public servants did question the wisdom in staging a protest march on a day when all but two Queensland Government MPs have gathered in Mackay for the Queensland Plan forum. Member for Redcliffe Scott Driscoll is not attending the forum, and the Member for Springwood John Grant told organisers he had a prior engagement.
