If your contribution is motivate by genuine opinion then it is illinformed. It might profit you to read a little concerning the issues and events that lead the miners to such action. It might also profit you to read of the verdicts reached by the courts when some of the miners were put on trial for their actions, and further it might be informative for you to know of the political and social reforms that were introduced as a direct result of this watershed event in the history and development of the Australian nation.
Kind regard
