good old anarchists not obeying the road rules and holding up polluting smelly cars :) sounds like a good protest and the turnout in australia looked pretty good

"the bosses need us but we dont need them"

It was by 2 cops, actually. One of them even said it over the loudspeaker in his car as he drove away. Fucking pathetic.

I agree with that line squirrel - I told a construction worker that he should throw his boss off the top floor of a building he was working on after the demo - sadly, he didn't seem to enthusiastic about that.

Where does 120 come from? I couldn't do a proper count because it wasn't a march and I couldn't get a good vantage point to count everyone. But I counted about a third from each end and got to 70 each time.

I would say 200-250. Rallies can often look smaller than they are depending on the venue.

It was over 200 people at the rally. Although it did wax and wane a little.

Thanks for posting this article, but I can't quite see how 6 anarchists strolling down the street after a demo exchanging abuse with the cops is actually news...

SUPPORTING THE AUSSIE WORKER: Green MP Keith Locke protests outside the Australian high commission in Wellington against new industrial relations laws across the Tasman. Hundreds of thousands of workers in Australia marched in massive demonstrations yesterday.
]

New Zealand Council of Trade Unions president Ross Wilson said yesterday Australia's proposed new industrial relations laws would allow employers in workplaces with fewer than 100 employees to fire people at will.

Employers could force workers on to individual contracts, even if most wanted a collective. It was a "thinly veiled attempt to silence the rights of workers to organise collectively in unions".

"This sort of approach to workplace relations is what New Zealand narrowly avoided in the form of a Don Brash-led government."

Green MP Keith Locke said the proposed labour laws could hurt New Zealand workers.

"If they get away with it in Australia then it will come across here for the workers in the companies that are owned in Australia, and if it goes through in Australia, we will have a much harder fight in Parliament."

About 10 policemen guarded the commission's gates but the protest passed without incident. Mr Wilson delivered a letter to the high commissioner expressing unionists' concerns.

In Auckland, 250 workers rallied outside the Australian consulate.

But Business New Zealand chief executive Phil O'Reilly said the WorkChoices bill would give Australia a competitive edge by removing red tape from individual contracts, protecting small firms from unfair dismissal claims and protecting new projects and industries from industrial action during their start-up period.

Its heartwarming that you kiwi mob give enough of a shit about your goofy neighbors across the tasman to have a rally for us.

Thanks guys. Its apreciated.

That said, if these laws come in, I may well be meeting yas for a coffee before work in a cafe in wellington (or something. I heard South island is really pretty as well). Because its starting to stink in perth. :(

Big ups to all the NZ comrades!

likewise, thanks

THank you to the Kiwi comrades for supporting us against Howard and these laws.
(210,000 ppl in Melbourne. One wonders how many workplaces elected to stopwork for the live link up?)
These laws are a dangerous slippery slope if they do come in, we have to fight them with all we have, and yes, this posted comment can be called "seditios" over here now. What was I saying about dangerous slippery slopes?
