FairWear outside the Town Hall. Outworkers are set to be among the hardest hit by the removal of what protections they have

Sharan Burrow. Supplementary screens were set up along the route for those unable to get as far as the Square to watch the hook-up. “We must not be the first generation of Australians to leave our children with less rights than we inherited, and we won’t be.”

Followed a little later by the AMWU, who arrived via Lonsdale Street before turning down Swanston Street in numbers that would have made a very respectable march just by themselves
Group 2 – some from Swanston street, mostly in LaTrobe – starting with a familar figure:

Princes Hill Secondary College, closely followed by the CPA. There was no counting the number of schools represented, and the total number of staff present must have run into thousands
Group 3 – more pics taken on LaTrobe Street during the march – starting with ‘someone’ waiting on the corner
