Rally at ABCC headquarters - Melbourne - 2 December



Thousands of unionists and supporters rallied at the St Kilda Road headquarters of the Australian Building and Construction Commission, demanding its abolition and celebrating the dropping of charges against union official Noel Washington, who had been facing a jail term for refusing to attend a hearing of the commission.

The rally heard from a succession of speakers and ended with thunderous chants, captured here by a still camera - hence the low resolution.


There is a also a report with photos on the website of the Victorian Trades Hall Council:
