March in March

[just_me_karen]

Who is marching in March? I will be.

"March in March Australia 2014 will be three days of peaceful assemblies, non-partisan citizens' marches and rallies at Federal Parliament and around Australia to protest against government decisions that are against the common good of our nation"

There's just so much to protest about, but I think the thing that riles me the most is our governments dehumanising cruelty to refugees.

Or maybe the 800 million payment to Murdoch

Or the nepotism.

Or plain incompetency.

Anyway, I need ideas for my placard. Can anyone help?

I'll have to travel hundreds of kilometres to get to my nearest march, so I want to make it worthwhile.

I am thinking of going in again tomorrow to ask the staffer his opinion of the latest from Morrison. This staffer was just repeating the same spin that we are being fed. Makes me angry.

Sick of the insults and name calling. Show some compassion and you are ridiculed. Rather have compassion than the hate some have. Our rights are being eroded. Funding is being cut. Anything good or bad that Labor brought in is seen as fair game. Petty and nasty. As for our Prime Minister "Where the bleep hell are you" ?

A read a short article yesterday pointing out the non partisan approach to the diplomatic postings when Rudd was elected. Stark constrast to the current lot.

Yes, all programs are fair game. It's all about erasing everything Labor implemented out of spite.

If you remember correctly it wasn't the heckling it was the sexism, the gender based heckling that we (I don't speak for all but for some) complained about.

But windrake and cat mad, march in march is not partisan. It clearly states it's a non partisan protest against the policies of this government. If you read facebook or twitter, you'll see many, many liberal voters who are dissatisfied with the way this govt is operating. Perhaps they're part of the swing in the latest polls?

Anyway, I'm going to two. One on the Saturday and another on the Sunday. I figured since I'd be driving hundreds of kilometres I may as well travel a bit further....assuming they don't apply G4S discipline policies and bring out the machetes, dogs, guns and fence palings to stop us. Apparently that acceptable these days 😐

So far, more than 100,000 Australians have indicated they'll be attending and they're not all from the labor party.

True. I first heard about it from LNP voters who thought a petition would change their minds about the NBN.

I am delighted with the Abbott government so I will not be participating in the march and I bet thousands who say they will march will be sitting in front of their computers ranting.

Don't forget it's this weekend for anyone who 's planning on going 🙂

Karen have you made a placard yet?

& if you have what does it say 🙂


Or maybe you can't tell us?
