• The protest got to King George Square before another speech was made. seen here
• The march part was basically a lap of the block with the above mentioned stop.

Copyright: Passed Newsworthiness: Passed Verifiability: Passed NPOV: Passed Style: Passed Comments by reviewer: If I'd seen a simple, graceful way to work the year into the headline, I'd have done it; but the ideas I came up with were intrusive and awkward. If some future article covers an anti-budget protest in Brisbane, avoiding confusion with this article will be the later article's problem. I had to poke around to confirm the budget was on Tuesday; it'd be really easy to have tripped up on a detail like that.
