Plot
In a near future, the government of Australia had issued a decree that it is allowed to spy on their citizens. The G20 is planned, but a group of environmental activists (headed by Winnie and Conrad) are gathering in a nearby bookstore and plan to disrupt it. The two leaders don't realize that they are being watched. Suddenly, a hidden footage is surfaced, and it lands on the Minister of Justice's table...
