THE PRICE of protest: $110,000!
One of the two peace activists who climbed the Opera House and painted a red "No War" slogan on the tallest of its white sails said outside court yesterday that he did not regret the protest.
"I did what I felt I had to do. I hope to never have to do it again, but I don't regret what we did," said Will Saunders, a British scientist in Australia on a working visa.
Police prosecutor Jeff Philippe told the court the cost of the damage to the Opera House was about $111,000.
