The Australian Prime Minister has posted a video on YouTube

The Australian Prime Minister has posted a video on YouTube appealing for people to avoid violent protests at the Apec summit. John Howard has made the appeal ahead of Australia's biggest ever gathering of world leaders for the Apec trade summit in Sydney. When leaders meet anywhere in the world lots of people who don't feel heard want to make there view. As a result people go to protests to try and convey what they think should be done. I think that Mr Howard should have asked people to protest peacefully instead of avoiding violent protests, simply because protests tend to turn violent without warning and so it could be seen as saying don't protest which wouldn't be right
