🏟️ Solidarity Park

Solidarity Park is located opposite Parliament House in Perth, Western Australia. In 1997, a 'workers embassy' was set up on vacant land opposite Parliament House during union protests of the Court Government's 'third wave' legislation for industrial relations. A landscaped shelter with a monument to trade union workers who have died during their work was established at the park. The monument was particularly dedicated to Mark Allen, a young CFMEU organiser who was killed on a building site while attempting to get workers down from an unsafe roof.
