Rallies to be held around the country

On Friday 30 October, the rigger Ark Tribe will face the Adelaide Magistrates Court to answer charges brought against him by the Australian Building & Construction Commission (ABCC). The laws prosecuted by this mob are undemocratic and pose a serious threat to our civil rights. They must be challenged and stopped.

Ark Tribe has been unfairly charged and he needs your support. Rallies are being held in almost every state, so please do whatever you can to attend...and bring your friends!

SA: 11am Outside the court at the Southern End of Victoria Square, Adelaide
