The first women’s March4Justice rally kicked off in Perth on Sunday afternoon with about 5,000 people, mostly women of all ages.
Many of the signs at the march point out the lack of a public inquiry into historical rape allegations made against Western Australian minister, attorney general Christian Porter. Porter has strenuously denied the allegations.
Speakers at the rally continually returned to the theme of whether it was appropriate for the first law officer to remain in his position while the allegations remained unresolved. One group of women walked behind a banner advertising that they were from his electorate of Pearce.
