Project Name and URL:
Indian Students Protest –May31st 2009 - http://www.theage.com.au/national/indian-anger-boils-over-20090531-brrm.html
Location & Creator/Author Organisation:
Flinders Street Station - Federation of Indian Students of Australia
Media and how it is used:
This is a simple obstruction and media coverage strategy. 2000 people flooded Flinders Street Station in support of one cause however as tensions flared, Flinders Street Station itself became an object of attack. Violence as well as the sheer number of people attracted media attention.
Points reflecting on its success:
Its effect was definitely a short one and although this issue still remains in mainstream media, not enough has been done to continue to place this issue at the forefront of daily coverage.
