Australians know how to protest.
Hundreds of people gathered Saturday local time at Parliament House in Canberra to make their way down a hill in a mass protest roll.

Protesters opposed to the fence rolled down the grassy slope just as many visitors to Parliament House often do. Even dogs got in on the democratic action.
The event was organized by Lester Yao, an architect, on Facebook and delightful videos of the roll-a-thon were shared widely on social media.

"It was only going to be about 20 friends and families, and now we had more than 600 or 700 people," Yao told the Sydney Morning Herald. "Unfortunately, kids might not be able to do this again and they're just enjoying themselves."
The fence became a matter of debate after demonstrators breached security at Parliament House earlier this year. Lawmakers had even tossed around the idea of digging a moat around the slope, but that was sanely rejected.
