“We swear by the Southern Cross to stand truly by each
other and fight to defend our rights and liberties.”
— The Eureka rebels’ oath
The Howard Government has banned the Eureka flag on building sites around Australia. This is an outrageous attack on our democratic rights and freedoms. Where will the Eureka flag be banned from next?

The Eureka flag was first raised by Ballarat gold miners on 29 November, 1854, in a rebellion against the oppression and injustice of the British colonial authority. It became a symbol of just rebellion, and has been raised by ordinary people in many diverse struggles for justice ever since.

Among the 20 nationalities that took part in the Eureka uprising were English, Italian, Jamaican, Irish, Dutch, German and black and white Americans. They were united
and pledged to stand by each other under the Eureka flag. Australia’s multi-culturalism was born at the Eureka Stockade. The Eureka flag continues to be a proud and popular national icon of ordinary people. We will defend it!
