![]() ![]() “Wake the fuck up…stand up on the two feet God gave ya,” she advises Australians, instructing them to gather at state parliaments, council chambers and the homes of state governors to demand new elections at noon, Tuesday August 31st. In the video posted August 22, Karen Brewer of “the Bush Telegraph” (slang for an informal information network) refers to current law enforcement as “costumed thugs, firing on your fellow citizens.” Now, as seen in the video below, ANZACs are calling for Australia’s state governors to dissolve Parliament and call for new elections. However, momentum for the August 31 protest has continued to build and the protests have morphed into anti-COVID lockdown, anti-police brutality, and anti-government events. Police rescinded this measure relatively quickly and the highway stops have been re-opened for Truckies only (members of the public are not allowed). Truckies were not allowed to stop for food, fuel, or to use washrooms or showers. The original reason the Truckies organized the August 31 protest was because Australian public health officials demanded highway truck stops be closed as a COVID-19 measure. (“ANZAC” is slang for “Australia and New Zealand Army Corp,” which historically referred to the troops these nations sent to fight in World War One but has come to refer to all military veterans in Australia.) Reports from organizers on the ground supported by video postings indicate that the Truckies will be joined by thousands of ANZACs. Second, Australia’s “Truckies” (slang for truckers) are organizing an illegal wildcat strike for Tuesday, August 31st to protest COVID lockdown measure s, police brutality and governance which is appalling in their view. The TWU strike is NOT being held in response to or protest of COVID-19 measures, police brutality, or governance. ![]() This is a legal strike, for which the TWU received a mandate from its members. ![]() Members are striking for a fairly standard pay-and-benefits/improved compensation and job protection package. TWU is striking against transportation giant Toll. It is challenging to get an clear and accurate view of precisely what is happening on the ground in Australia because multiple strikes have been called, for a variety of different reasons.įirst, Australia’s Transport Workers’ Union voted for and launched a “commerce” focused strike on Friday, August 27th. More updates are scheduled over the next 48 hours. Photos and videos of police brutality have been posted to various platforms over the past weeks Road Warrior News has been in direct video conference call contact with Australian protesters and business owners between August 25th and 27th to confirm media reports. Many citizens and social media posters have gone on the record asking out loud what any of this can possibly have to do with “health.” Parts of Australia have been subject to martial law, with police dragging citizens out of their homes, beating them in the streets, and firing rubber bullets and tear gas into crowds of protesters. ![]() It is also still unclear whether the promised truckie blockades across the country are happening or even happened.What is going on in Australia? How are Truckers (“Truckies”) involved?ĬOVID-19 lockdown actions in the nation of Australia are among the most onerous, if not the most onerous, on the globe. It remains to be seen if the Queensland government will back down the way that the South Australian government has. The people are holding them because they truly have the power not only to stop that, but to bring the tyrants trying to mandate such things to justice.Īs The XYZ pointed out, the source of the “working conditions” dispute was the insane Covid restrictions and mandatory vaccination for crossing the Queensland border. This is a pretty big victory, as South Australian government has backpeddled on their mandate, which just shows you they are not holding all the cards. Australian truck drivers threatened a strike with a blockade on August 31 and actually engaged in a brief one on the 30th on the Queensland border, along with huge numbers of people protesting the unlawful mandates that truck drivers should get at least one of the unsafe and inefficient COVID shots. ![]()
