Marches in Australia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
March in March refers to a series of marches which were held around Australia on 15–16 March 2014, and in Canberra, the national capital, on 17 March 2014, a parliamentary sitting day. The marches were attended by at least eighty thousand people across Australia and were peaceful (The Sydney Morning Herald reported 112,000[1]). Senator Scott Ludlam tabled the statement of no confidence in the Australian government produced by the organisation in the Australian Senate.[2][3] Prime Minister Tony Abbott dismissed the event claiming that it was of small size.[4]

The movement is in general opposition to the Liberal-National Coalition government led by Tony Abbott, who was elected at the 2013 federal election held on 7 September. It has mostly been organised on social media.
The March in March movement has since grown to address a wider range of issues including industrial relations, environmental issues, asylum seeker policy and opposition to privatisation of public assets.[5]
