The 151st anniversary of the formation of the Ballarat Reform League, the 87th anniversary of Armistice Day 1918, the 30th anniverary of the dismissal of the Whitlam Labor Government in 1975 also featured in a survey of history of the day by Dr Joe Toscano of the Anarchist Media Institute, which organised the event. Those present joined in a re-affirmation of the Eureka Oath - which was proudly displayed on one of several magnificent banners erected outside the Gaol - and observed the traditional minute's silence. The call also went out to join in 'reclaiming the radical spirit of the Eureka Rebellion' in Ballarat on the weekend of 3-4 December, including a "Sedition Sunday" organised by People for Civil Liberties and Peacebus.com in Eureka Park, Ballarat, from 11am on Sunday 4 Dec.
