Any sign or word of truck blockades today?

submitted by Cunt to Australia 3.7 yearsAug 31, 2021 04:23:10 ago (+11/-0)     (Australia)

Original word on social media that was 31st of August truckies were going to block all state borders. On Sunday one bloke said that was a ruse to trick the police and it is happening "tomorrow" (yesterday/monday) - him and another truck blocked a QLD hwy for about an hour until Pauline Pantsdown said "I don't like it" and that she would pay his fines.

I can't find any of the tiktok videos of truckies saying they were in anymore (l could have sworn I favourited some to come back to). I can't find any news on if anything happened this morning or not. Not even any mocking "I knew you guys wouldn't do anything" posts.

Do you think there may have been arrests or threats to stop it or everyone chickened out?

Mentally prepare yourselves for massive disappointment and let-down. The trucker shutdown is likely going to be short and have sparse participation. If the government concedes anything, it'll be loosening the chain one link (30 more minutes of outdoor rec!), and the truckers will capitulate to it.

The last I heard was truckies on the M1 in QLD yesterday and I had to scour the internet for it.

Almost all media is bought and the only journalist left are independents that are threatened with prison.
2, 7, 9, 10 are all bouught and just provide fear porn for the fuckwits.

This should happen global. Full on global walkout. Shut it down? I've got your shut down.

*strong workforce required.

This is why it was so important to have women working, so they workforce would listen to daddy government.

KeK, you assume much.

I've taken off work with no pay to attend protests.
