Australia‘s mainstream media failed to properly report on the extent of anti-Abbott protests last weekend, however the more honest overseas media succeeded. Alan Austin reports from France.

IN GERMANY, Radio Utopia highlighted Sunday’s protest marches across Australia with ‚Volksaufstand in Australien‘ (Popular uprising in Australia):

‚On Sunday, on the smallest continent on earth, occurred the biggest mass demonstrations for thirty years.‘

Utopia claimed that ‚a solid alliance of resistance across all strata of the population‘ had mobilised to protest ‚the deliberate destruction of society by the Australian government‘.
