Event

The Construction, Forestry, Maritime, Mining and Energy Union (CFMEU) is holding a march from Solidarity Park to Saint Georges Terrace in Perth, Western Australia, as of afternoon May 9. The rally has prompted closures along Harvest and Saint Georges Terrace streets. Organizers are denouncing inflation.

Authorities will likely monitor the protest and may try to disperse the gathering if it is especially disruptive. Skirmishes between protesters and police are possible, mainly if activists attempt to breach security cordons near the Government House and Parliament House.
