I attended the rally in Sydney this year and I am so glad I did - my faith in the future of humanity and the entire Progressive movement was restored.

There were quite a few speakers towards the end, such as Verity Firth from the ALP, a Greens Councillor, a couple of Union Secretaries and an Immigrant worker from Pacific Brands who was about to be laid off (He got a huge round of applause).
All in all, a fun day. The mood was really optimistic and there was a real feeling that we were on the verge of an important era for the Progressive movement.
