On 18 March 2003 Dr Will Saunders and David Burgess  painted "No War" on the tallest of the the five-metre high white sails of the Sydney Opera House - days before  George  Bush, John Howard and Tony Blair would declare war on Iraq.  They were arrested and charged with malicious damage and willfully marking a building with paint. The Opera House claims the paint cost $151,000 to remove and Will and David are being pursued to pay this fine.                          
Dr Will Saunders and David Burgess were sentenced to nine months periodic detention and ordered to pay the Opera House Trust $151,000 for malicious damage to the building on March 18, 2003.
