Spirit of Eureka commemorated the 166th Eureka Rebellion Anniversary last Sunday, 29th November in an online forum. This recorded video can also be viewed on YouTube.

The focus for this year was, “In the midst of a global crisis it is right to rebel for our rights and liberties”.

The online forum had an exceptional range of speakers who presented insights and reflections on the appalling state of affairs in Australia and around the world.
