Supples’ Pub

Those crazy Australians. I had picked up an Australian car mag while I was here - this just confirms to me they are REALLY into their cars I guess that’s why the government is set on passing strict anti-hoon laws, as they call them.

CANBERRA (Reuters) - Organizers of Australia’s biggest hot-rod car festival on Monday pledged to review security after a drunken mob of hundreds of men surrounded women and demanded they flash their breasts during an angry rampage.

……

But witnesses crossing paths with the mob said they had been terrified and described young girls as being in tears as jeering youths demanded they flash their breasts in a repeat of the event’s raunchy origins when stripping competitions were featured.

Canberra Tourism Minister Andrew Barr said the disruption had been minimal when compared to the tourist revenues drawn in by the large crowd of interstate visitors.

Henry said a call to restrict alcohol at next year’s event to avoid another mob confrontation would be counter-productive, although security would be reviewed.
