A GREAT wall of steel has been erected along the entire Beijing Olympic torch relay route in Canberra, with the Prime Minister saying police would "come down like a ton of bricks" on protesters planning violent demonstrations.
Kevin Rudd's warning came as the cost of hosting Thursday's event doubled to almost $2 million.
"If any protesters, irrespective of their political point of view, engage in unruly, disorderly or violent behaviour, then the police will come down on them like a ton of bricks," Mr Rudd told the 7.30 Report last night.
Chinese flame attendants, criticised for their thuggish treatment of protesters overseas, were also warned. Federal police would "intervene if anyone else seeks to provide security", Mr Rudd said.
A waist-high metal grille surrounded landmarks such as Parliament House, the National Art Gallery and the War Memorial.
"It's quite a blow to the innocence of our city but we must do it," the ACT Chief Minister, Jon Stanhope.
