tmi127f919008a7mhr1f65 · 167 years ago today Australians fought the Eureka Rebellion at Ballarat against British tyranny. While the battle was lost, the cause in the end was won, as the hated licence fee system was dismantled and democracy expanded in Victoria and right through Australia. Still today the Eureka flag represents freedom and liberty from government control. It has been inspiring to see so many Australians peacefully rally behind this flag as we fight back against a new, COVID-inspired, “licence fee” system. The Eureka oath, first said by Peter Lalor on 30 November, 1854 at Bakery Hill, is always worth repeating:”We swear by the Southern Cross to stand truly by each other and fight to defend our rights and liberties.”
