I've always thought this fence was the most symbolic "fuck you" from the government to the people of Australia. I can't believe it's been ten years, I've barely heard anyone mention it since it went up.

You got me hopeful that there was new political conversation about it.

I don't know anything about good security measures tbf, but damn, a fence would ruin the whole design of Parliament house..

Edit: it's a 10 year old post, surprised I didn't hear about this until now

I was pretty confused at first but this article is from 2016? I get it's a goofy story but that's 10 years old. What am I missing here?
