On July 4, hundreds of people rallied in Melbourne to "Let Greece Breathe."  Protesters chanted "OXI"; meaning "NO" to the austerity cuts imposed by the banks on Greek people.

Socialist Alliance Councillor, Sue Bolton, said "The Greek struggle is our struggle. A victory against austerity in Greece is important for the whole world."
