The official opening of the Sydney Harbour Bridge on 19 March 1932 was disrupted by Captain Francis De Groot of the political group The New Guard.
As the Premier of NSW, the Honourable John T Lang, was about to officially declare the Bridge open, De Groot, who with the New Guard was opposed to Lang's leftist policies, charged on his horse and slashed the ribbon with his sword. The New Guard resented the fact that the King's representative in Australia, the Governor-General Sir Isaac Isaacs, hadn't been asked to open the bridge.
De Groot was arrested, the ribbon was retied, and Lang completed the official opening ceremony.
