I rise to congratulate those that braved horizontal rain and high winds to attend the Protest on the Coast, a rally that took place in Burnie in Tasmania on Saturday, 28 June, against this cruellest and most dishonest budget in living memory. There were over 150 people at the rally, with many more, particularly pensioners, who expressed their desire to be there but due to the inclement weather could not attend. Those who attended the rally knew that waiting until the election to remind people of the true colours of Tony Abbott and the Liberal coalition government was not an option.
