Socialist Alliance member Alex Bainbridge and environmental activist Jimi Cocking outside the Launceston Magistrate's Court on August 17, after police dropped charges against them. The two activists had been arrested protesting against PM John Howard during his visit to Launceston in February. "It was a totally peaceful protest and police were out of line to arrest us", said Bainbridge. "This was demonstrated today in the court when police could offer no evidence against us."
