Bus services were also diverted this afternoon as protests disrupted traffic near the Australian War Memorial. Officers were called again that evening, when the pub closed its doors early to get rid of the patrons after they refused to leave.ACT Chief Minister Andrew Barr said Canberrans were hospitable and he respected everyone's right to protest."If the objective of these protesters is to win over hearts and minds, they're certainly not doing that," Mr Barr said.
"We are expecting more protest activity today in and around the parliamentary triangle and potentially the airport," she said.
