Australia: Sydney's APEC Disturbances Will Extend to September 6 and 10

Sources: ABC News and Australia public holidays. In our news story of September 12, 2006, we reported that Friday September 7, 2007, would be a one-off public holiday in the Sydney area to coincide with the first day of the APEC 3-day meeting. It now seems that disturbances for Sydney residents will extend to either side of the APEC meeting, as President Bush will meet the leaders of China and Russia before APEC, and will then remain in Sydney for further talks after the summit.
