Thousands of unionists and supporters rallied at the St Kilda Road headquarters of the Australian Building and Construction Commission, demanding its abolition and celebrating the dropping of charges against union official Noel Washington, who had been facng a jail term for refusing to attend a hearing of the commission.
The rally heard from a succession of speakers and ended with thunderous chants, captured here by a still camera - hence the low resolution.
