	Anne Beggs Sunter Contested Memories of Eureka : Museum Interpretations of the Eureka Stockade Labour History, 85 The History Cooperative
		Eureka has always had special significance for the Labour movement, and the symbolism of the Eureka flag — the flag of the Ballarat Reform League — has become almost synonymous with the Trade Union movement.
		It also encouraged the formation of the Eureka Stockade Memorial Trust, whose aim was 'to be a catalyst for the promotion of the Australian spirit' and to raise funds for 'a Eureka education and interpretation centre of national significance dedicated to the ideals of Australian democracy and peaceful democratic reform'.
		Around this time, too, the flag issue was reignited, when Premier Kennett declared that the Eureka flag should be moved to the new centre because it would become 'a tourist icon and you ought to be able to come and pay homage to the flag on technically the site'.
