It wasn't about which political side you were on.
It was a protest against a government that was actually voted in by my fellow
Australians, a government that is in the process of destroying everything so
many of us still believe in. And so, so many of us were there yesterday: estimates
vary from 30,000 - 50,000. In the last three days similar marches have taken
place all over the country.
March in March began
with a rally outside the State Library of Victoria. Afterwards the crowd
marched from Swanston Street, turned left into Bourke Street and officially
ended on the steps of Parliament House. These are a very small selection of
around two hundred shots I took yesterday (including the shameless selfie of Shane and I directly below). We were both very proud to be there. Lately we'd been feeling deeply ashamed to be Australian.
