Here is my perspective of the March on Saturday. I joined the march at roughly 12.15pm on the corner of Russell and Bourke St having parked at QV. Parking was busy. Traders must be loving the numbers coming into the city at the moment in order to protest.
Excellent pics, Dover. Thanks.
Also, kudos to all the wonderful Cats who attended the protests around Australia.
I watched Rukshan’s coverage of the Melbourne march. Such a happy, diverse crowd (as opposed to the rude and aggressive mob who wouldn’t let Rukshan, a Sri Lankan, film their ‘anti-racist’ rally) .
For the first time in quite a while, I felt proud to be Australian.
Stirring stuff. I’ve seen widely differing crowd estimates- if anyone can point to a reliable one, I’d be glad to hear it.
Somebody – it might have been David Lembrick – said that the people he met had gone from being angry and insulted at being called nazis and extremists by people like andrews, to just laughing at it. They are beginning to realize their power.
Looked at Liberty Daily just now for the first time in months and immediately saw this:
Former Australian Special Forces Commander Riccardo Bosi: This Stops When We Stop It (20 Nov)
Looks to be video of Lt Col Bosi speaking at the Sydney march yesterday. I haven’t watched it so I have no idea what he said, but to see it on a US site was interesting.
Here is his speech:

Near the end I got ‘beep’, then no more signal.
I was there. Sound system was quite poor, so difficult to hear but recordings are available. (Sound should be better next week).
Bosi started with a joke…
“I am Lt Col. Ricardo Berto(sp?) Bosi, and with a face like this you’ve got to be wondering which
F#(k!n side was he on…”
He then recited the Lord’s Prayer before speaking for about 7-odd mins in total.
Covered unconstitutional government in Australia, the pervasiveness of the infiltration of communism throughout the country and its institutions, amongst other things (including calling for an “ANZAC Strike”.
Essentially, nothing new for those that have heard him speak before – but very well-spoken, as usual.
This is the best footage I’ve seen of the rally in Melbourne on Saturday. Very encouraging! Let’s hope the politicians listen.

Nah, Virginia tells me they’re all conspiracy nutters.

Hahahaha! By some absolute miracle in all of that footage I managed to spot our mini-Cat brigade making their way to the park! We rock!

No need to guess how the MSM will report this, ‘just a few hundred anti-vaxxers’.
Nah, they will follow Dastardly Dan and call us all “extremists.”
I was there till after 1500, and saw marchers still arriving. I don’t think I saw the tail of the line at all.
John of Mel, we saw him pass us near the William St side where the medic tent was set up. A friend has pics.
I was there, in Melbourne. Voice for Victoria (on Facebook) reckons about 90,000, from estimates at Flagstaff Gardens. I heard from one guy who was speaking to a crowd checker, doing regular photo snaps and estimates, that it was 300,000 (and last week was 147,000). I keep hearing 300,000, but that seems a lot to me; I also heard 400,000. I couple of different views on how pollies escalate a crowd like that to a voting population. One view: for every one in the march, they reckon it as seven to eight who agree but do not attend; another view is that it is one to many more times that.
I concur with DB that the line down Bourke Street was from Parliament House to Elizabeth Street and was reasonably full. Then turned around a couple of blocks to arrive at Flagstaff. True Arrow’s video on YT is reasonably good.
I left Flagstaff, went back to Bourke Street, hung around for awhile and they were still coming down Bourke. Bigger than Ben Hur. Went off to another activity in Bourke Street Mall, and then about 4:00 pm-ish, the crowd came back from Flagstaff up through Bourke Street Mall to Parliament. It was smaller by then but still pretty big. Spoke for awhile to different people. Seems that there were families and groups that came by car and bus from the country. Pretty ordinary Aussies and quite a few families with children.
