Martin Kingham from the CFMEU, as reported on the ABC, said that the rally was a huge success.
"Looks like 200,000 to me - the biggest industrial rally that I've ever seen in Melbourne," he said.
Bill Shorten, Australian Workers Union (AWU) secretary, said the rally was just the beginning of a campaign against the Howard Government.
"You asked what is the strategy for the next 700 days - the strategy is to fight - to fight in the workplace, to fight in the community, to fight in the media and to get rid of the Howard Government," he said.
Meanwhile, it has been reported that three workers who attended the rally in Mackay in Queensland, have been sacked by their employer, Adsteam Marine. Thousands of construction workers have also been threatened with disciplinary action including individual fines up to $22,000 for taking the day off to attend the rally, labelled as an "illegal" strike by Building Industry employers.
