Probably the first of the Marches against Monsanto happened in Australia, New Zealand and Japan.It looks like most in the southern zone had a rainy day, but the turnout was good despite the weather.The video above features singer Luke Wilton at the March Against Monsanto, Memorial Hall in Bellingen, NSW, Australia Hundreds gathered in Brisbane, Australia to protest against Monsanto. Melbourne saw a huge crowd out on the streets chanting, among other things, "Save our Seeds!" and "No to GMOs, Monsanto has to go" with posters reading "GM Free Zone."Melbourne also had a rather cute, mini protest going on the pavements: Sydney, Australia saw around 4,000 people demonstrating against Monsanto and "its deceptive and misleading conduct in breach of the Trade Practices legislation." It is anticipated that some 16,000 people will attend any subsequent rally. All who were in attendance were chanting "No to Monsanto" and "Monsanto leave Australia." Protesters agreed to boycott any foods which contain GMO. Whangarei, Northland , New Zealand got out on the streets to say No To Monsanto. It was raining quite heavily throughout the march, which was "a testament to everyone's resolve." Protesters met in Cameron St Mall and proceeded to the Northland Regional Council Building where they stood and chanted: "What do we want?" "GE Free" When do we want it?" "Now!" repeatedly.Also in New Zealand, Auckland City saw a protest with a small but noisy group of people singing what sounds like, "Monsanto, you suck bro." Banners read "The future is GE-Free" and "Save our Seeds." The weather was wet and rainy there too. Tokyo, Japan saw a noisy protest outside the Monsanto Japan headquarters on the day of March Against Monsanto. Looks like it was a fair sized crowd out there. South Africa saw a well-attended march through Cape Town protesting against Monsanto. Weather there was rather dull too, but there was a good turnout. The main message was for Monsanto to "stop poisoning our Earth, people, seeds, future." "No more GMO", "No more Monsanto."Durban in South Africa saw a traditional Zulu turnout for the event:Plettenberg Bay in South Africa saw crowds turning out, a lot of them wearing red, protesting against Monsanto and telling the agro-giant to "stop sowing seeds of suicide," referring particularly to the tens of thousands of Indian farmers who committed suicide when their GMO crops failed.Johannesburg saw a March Against Monsanto protest, right outside Monsanto HQ South Africa in Fourways.For more details and photos of the South African events, please visit NO GMO South Africa's Facebook page.
