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 thought Lismore was yesterday if that is your pic Karen? Bunch of hippies there lol

No, yesterday I went to grafton. I wish I'd gone to Lismore instead...it had 7000 and grafton only had 500.

Today's march was on the coast, but the beach was shut due to strong winds. My luck!

Everyone was in very good humour She-ele & the march was very peaceful. Even the police officers walking along with the marchers here were having a chat & a smiling

Well it could be Ballina, looking at those shops and the trees

Nope, look at the bloke with the "abbot kicked my dog" sign...he epitomises the young men in this town. It's not as unique and beautiful as it used to be,,,commercialism seems to have ruined it.

[donnashuggy]

Has to be Byron Bay then? They don't have buildings like that in Lennox

Yes, byron. The beach is still absolutely beautiful. I love Lennox too. Ballina is an awful industrial wasteland with a rusty monster prawn haha 😄

I was told someone recently nicked the prawn.

Marched in Hobart. Win news actually reported it on the news. Not a bad turn out.

Ballina is truly awful, I grew up in Lennox, here is a pic of my parents quarry in Teven if you are driving that way
