Opposition Leader [Electricity] Bill Shorten distanced himself from the rally, telling reporters the Labor Party is not formally involved.

Y-R-U?

Electricity Bill would show up at the opening of a letter but even he declined to be involved with this embarrassment.

Thousands drawn to Australia-wide protests against government policies (ABC Online)
Quote:

Thousands of Australians have taken to the streets this weekend to protest against the Federal Government's policies.

The March in March protests are being held in the CBDs of capital cities as well as in smaller regional centres across the states and territories.

Protesters waving placards are voicing their anger on a wide range of policy issues, including climate change, the treatment of asylum seekers, marriage equality, the tax system and media ownership.

The March in March event started on Saturday and will continue until Monday, when protesters deliver a motion of no confidence to Parliament House in Canberra.

Prime Minister Tony Abbott was asked about the protests during a press conference with NSW Premier Barry O'Farrell, in which they announced a green light for Sydney's NorthConnex tunnel.

"My understanding is that the only big rally in Sydney is the St Patrick's Day parade," Mr Abbott said.

"That is the big event in Sydney today. I wish all of them well.

"If their parade is rained on, there is always some Guinness available around the city."

Opposition Leader Bill Shorten distanced himself from the rally, telling reporters the Labor Party is not formally involved.

"But I do get that people want to express their views. It's a free country," he said.

So small ten percent of the population took part in some cities. You must be smarting that Abbott is so hated he is stuck on 46/54 TPP for over five months now. Not long now my precious, and this piece of crap will be wiped from our radars as a blip of a hiccup.

You're a failure in everything aren't you? Lismore population 45 thousand, at the march yesterday, 4 to 5 thousand, no wonder you support the women basher, both losers.

Yes, but you live in England and have nothing to do with Australia or Australian politics.

Why would you ever march, vote, fight, or even bother?

counted by whom? the local loony abbot-hating group? how often have we seen protest marches where the supposed numbers vary by as much as 300%??? all the time.

I would guess 400 people at most counted by the people who have a vested interest to claim more.

But good to see you remain the same ugly bitter and twisted hater of just about everybody - even the party you support.

no wonder u r single.

it was so 'important' that no pollies attended and about the same media. and a handful of renatacrowd losers. even our own georgeh blessed us with his photo of the Adelaide event - a single poster carried by a single person.

In the post where I put links to pictures a couple of pages back, so you could actually look at the people and see they were by far normal everyday people, from grandparents to kids, I posted the 4-5,000 estimate. Some estimates were up to 7,000 but I thought I'd go with the lowest estimate to short circuit those sorts of claims and they are very likely to be correct, I was there.

Judging on his post history, that sounds about right.

those 'estimates' are probably the most unreliable estimate ever. no, I don't believe your figure is anywhere even close to accurate as they never are. and lefties do have an amazing ability to add a zero onto the end of such things.

Did you seriously have nothing else better to do?

I seriously can't fathom ever going along to a march.

I once got caught up in a Greens one in Melbourne about refugees. Ended up being yelled at by some oddball middle aged woman with dyed pink hair. Admittedly I was a tad rude myself about what a waste of time it all was and that they were holding up the traffic and I wanted a cab....

Seriously though, marches.

What a waste of everyone's time.
