Brown evicted as Bush speaks
October 23, 2003

THE anti-war Greens Senator Bob Brown has been thrown out of Federal Parliament for shouting over the US President five minutes into his historic address.

Mr Brown started groaning as George W. Bush told assembled politicians that no one who cared about human rights in the Middle East could mourn the ousting of former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein.

He was joined by a handful of other MPs and Senators as they interrupted the President's speech. Andrew Neil, the Speaker of the House, immediately had the sergeant-at-arms remove Mr Brown.

Mr Bush was forced to stop his address and took a drink of water before proceeding with his speech.

The protest came despite Labor leader Simon Crean pledging support to the Australia-US alliance, which he called a "partnership of peoples" in remarks prefacing Mr Bush's address.

In his speech, Mr Bush called Prime Minister John Howard a man of exceptional courage.

He said Mr Howard exemplified the qualities of one of the world's greatest democracies.
