As they mentioned, the Eureka flag has long been associated with the labour movement here. Some of the Rail Tram Bus Union comrades have it printed on their jacket’s arm, CMFEU fly it next to their union flag on sites, and I’ve seen it flown consistently at Gaza rallies by union socialists (including sometimes a red variant similar to my profile image).

It is quite funny that it is also being used by Right-Wing fascists.
It’s like how the US insult “Redneck” originally referred to members of their Teachers Union and now refers to Uneducated selfish “libertarians”.
