Canberra’s march was a big one, 6000 or so, filling the traffic ramp from Parliament going down to the lights, and still a tail coming around the corner at the back.

Vintage Reds joined the red contingent, representing “the front lines of change”, and made up of a vast swirl of AEU flags, individual AEU school banners, and ALP T-shirts, among others. Others clumped into purple, green, rainbow groups… a lovely sight.
