campaignarf: This photo from the Age gives a sense of the size of yesterday’s anti-mosque rally in Bendigo, called and led by the fascist UPF. My guess, looking at the crowd, was that it was easily 4 or 500. Others who got closer estimated up to double that.Huge props to the Bendigo Action Coalition and the Campaign Against Racism and Fascism for the lively and well organised counter rally, which also numbered in the hundreds.The fact that straight-out fascists can mobilise a crowd of this size, and not just as a one off, is a very ominous sign. Of course its no surprise, given that both the Age and the Herald Sun provide regular talking points for anti-Muslim bigots, and both major parties preside over sickening abuse of human beings on Manus and Nauru.Plenty more work to do. -- source link
