Superhero Market Man (secret identity Jude Bourne, 4) was among the protesters as the furore over a proposed residential redevelopment of the historic Melbourne site rolled on.
The stoush over Preston Market lays bare the political nature of planning as Melbourne tries to build 70 per cent of all new housing in established areas.
Among those in attendance were Kat Theophanous, State member for Northcote and Parliamentary Secretary for Women’s Health and Maureen Corrigan representing Federal Immigration and Multicultural Affairs minister Andrew Giles.
