"M1 was brilliant. It will go down one of the most significant mobilisation in Australia's history. But one of the things that we can be a bit unhappy about is that the official trade union movement has brought relatively little to it, except in Melbourne where the left of the trade union movement has come out in support. Elsewhere it has been noticeably absent and I think they are doing it against the ranks of the trade union movement who are deeply in sympathy with this cause." — Sam Wainwright, M1 marshal and Democratic Socialist Party Sydney inner west branch secretary.
