A comprehensive report of Geert Wilder's speech yesterday to supporters in Melbourne. Leftist protesters, including a group carrying a banner advocating Socialism, attempted to bar entrants into the facility to hear the pro-capitalist, pro-free speech rights Dutch MP's speech.
One man pleads with the protesters to allow for free speech rights to be exercised. Leftist protesters grab him by the collar and push him to the ground. Andrew Horwood of the Q Society, an Aussie version of the Tea Party, introducing Wilders remarks:

I think it is very sad that political correctness has descended upon this land. That it's hard for a group like this to get locations where we can freely speak.

I am here to warn Australia about the true nature of Islam. It's not just a religion as so many people think. It's primarily a dangerous and totalitarian ideology.
