30Nov99:2pm:Melb : The Melbourne offices of PR firm Burson-Marsteller were occupied by protesters today, coinciding with international protests against the WTO meeting in Seattle. This links the spin doctors of unbridled consumerism to the 'free' trade preached and enforced by the WTO.

"The WTO is making all environmental and ethical barriers to trade illegal, leaving the regulation of the market to the consumer, while at the same time Corporations manipulate their images and misinform the consumer with PR and advertising, 'free' trade becomes a mythical end," said N30 spokesperson Luther Blisset of the Conceptual Pollution Council (ConPol).
