Survived the Torch

The Olympic torch procession made it through Canberra without too many problems, letting the ACT breathe a sigh of relief. There were pro-Tibetan protesters. But there were many more Chinese students waving the red Chinese flag. Media reported that over 80 buses of Chinese students came in from Sydney and another 50 buses from Melbourne, ensuring a suitable enthusiastic and pro-Chinese response. Some of these students allegedly intimidated Tibetans and their supporters along the route.

But still, nobody grabbed the torch or anything like that...
