quicko: blocking bridges

This is highly dated news now, but last Friday morning the Sydney Harbour Bridge was closed for a ... while in the early morning.  This happens from time to time for marathons and car accidents and whatnot; this time it was because some guy was protesting against DOCS (Australian children's services) for restricting the time spent with his children or something like that.  Evidently he'd managed to finagle his way from his truck up the pylon or something and was threatening harm so they shut the whole thing down and everyone was reduced to using ferries.  Thankfully it was all under control and reopened by the time I went to work about quarter to eight, though it did make for a dramatic start to the morning.
