From the eight hour monument in Naarm/Melbourne. An hour before the rally for the CFMEU even starts.

    And a less pretty but still inspiring shot from inside the Victorian Trades Hall of the red flag flying.

      I went with a comrade in the CPA. A VicSoc guy spoke but not specifically as a VicSoc guy if that makes sense.

      People were handing put Red Battler starting like an hour before the rally did, and all the way on my way back to the trades hall the streets were full of discarded copies of it lmao.

      Also I have some pictures if you want to see them. I think they’re too big to upload directly to Lemmy though. The crowd was massive and incredible to see
