THE Speedos-wearing protester who allegedly tried to disrupt Prime Minister John Howard's visit to the New South Wales south coast town of Bega has been charged with assault, police said today.
The 23-year-old man from nearby Tathra was arrested and charged following an incident at the local RSL club during Mr Howard's visit to the key marginal seat today.
Police alleged the man, wearing only blue Speedos and swimming cap, and with “climate change” written across his chest, ran towards Mr Howard.
A plain-clothes police officer attempted to stop the 23-year-old but he allegedly pushed the officer and tried to run past him to Mr Howard, police said.
He allegedly shouted: “What are you doing about global warming? There is no snow, there is no snow”, before he was quickly bundled away and into a nearby toilet by security staff.
He was arrested and charged with assault and conditionally bailed to appear in Bega Local Court on July 24.

Yes, we are...
And the snowfields near Bega got their first snow about three weeks ago - unusually early, actually.
