THOUSANDS of Australians have rallied at March in Australia protests around the country this weekend, protesting against the Abbott government after almost one year in power.

Protest organisers say around 40,000 people have marched at 31 locations, including capital cities and tiny regional towns.

The wide range of issues being supported by the protesters was summed up by a sign that read:

“For stronger public health and education, for addressing climate change, for asylum seeker rights, for real reconciliation, for equitable access to university, for protecting the environment, for international aid based on need not trade, for greater equality of wealth, for cultural diversity, for these reasons and more we march and shout, ‘Boot the Liberals Out!’”

These anti-Abbott protests are known for their hilarious posters and signs, featuring cheeky appropriations of the Prime Minister’s face. The August protest did not disappoint.
