Workers Solidarity Movement's video: Rally 4 Life - threats assault and a poor turnout

On Saturday one of our photographers was assaulted and threatened at the ‘No’ campaigns’ anti-choice Rally for Life. He wasn’t injured and although his camera was punched (see video) no damage was done but this is yet another example of how the No campaign, having failed to make any impact in the polls, are becoming nastier in their desperation. The ‘Love Both’ anti-choice rally itself was very poorly attended, attracting around 1500 people. The feeling in the crowd was one of tiredness and demoralisation with a few people even admitting out loud that the turnout was miserable. Radical Queers Resist were holding a small silent counter protest opposite the entrance to the rally so after counting the crowd we headed over to this.
