Up to 400 people gathered at Federation Square on Friday afternoon
to condemn Howard, Bush and Blair and their rush to war on Iraq.
Several speakers exhoted the crowd to keep up the protests,
including an Iraqi woman. Dave Cushion, from the MUA, explained
that across the world, workers were preparing to strike and protest
when US and allied forces invade Iraq. Reta Kaur, from Women
for Peace made an impassioned speech against war and the effect
of war on women and children.
The rally then started marching up Flinders Street to
No 1 Spring street, the building which has an office
for our Prime Minister John Howard.
The march continued around the city, at one point sitting down
at the intersection of Collins and Exhibition streets, before moving on.
