Rally at Anthony Albanese’s Marrickville office
September 2nd, 2011There are some well written reports online regarding yesterday’s anti-carbon tax rally outside Anthony Albanese’s Sydney office. These reports include informative images, such as on the No Carbon Tax website. Unfortunately there are many biased reports also, implying that the crowd jostled Anthony Albanese etc. One ABC report unfortunately also says that yesterday’s rally outside Anthony Albanese’s office […]
