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 agree, AZ, it just adds to the difficulty of choose an appropriate 3 word slogan....all I can think of is hilarious ones like martini mentioned.

I'll probably just have "not in my name", I think that sums up how I feel...and is age appropriate to me 😄

[bluecat*dancing]

I'll be going.

how has the government made a $800 million payment to Murdoch? the courts decesion was made july 2013. by a judge independant of the government under the laws of Australia.

I hope many people do support this. 

Tony A should be challenged to spend one week in the detention centre on Manus Is.

Read a real newspaper and you may discover why the 800 million is relevant (and appalling to any aware person)

The appeal was canned.

Will you be marching grizz?

It seems that every day there is something that this government does that is damaging. I agree, Karen, "Not in My Name" covers it all.

I have no confidence in this government at all.

again more mis truth

the appeal was turned down by the courts not the Abbott government. so i fail to see why you continue to blame them.

we only have one newspaper in western australia.

no i won't be marching, the Government is doing a good job

I will be marching. Doubt my husband will. My girls will march in Brisbane.


Went to the local federal liberal minister's office yesterday to have my say.
