This may be of interest to you.....
I led the Convoy of No Confidence from Adelaide to Canberra in 2011. I left Globe Derby park on the outskirts of Adelaide in my T600 Kenworth (bobtail) with only six cars following behind. Without going into the next few days which were some of the greatest in my life, in too much depth, let me assure you at the start, I was most disappointed. At our first night stop at a place called Lake Cullulleraine (Mildura didn't like our politics and cancelled our showgrounds booking), another couple decided to leave the convoy, as they thought it was a dud.
Me, the only truck, and six cars. It was still six because one fellow who was just cheering on the side of the road in the Berry bypass had decided split second to join in. He jumped in his car and came to Canberra.
Many an adventure was had along the way, and the convoy started to grow. Farmers set up signs on haybales and cheered us on in the middle of nowhere as we passed. The last night before heading into Canberra my phone started ringing and it did not stop . People wanted to join up from everywhere, and some had even rented out houses close to Canberra, so as to join in at the end. The media were pathetic liars, and their behaviour disgusting, but the reason for writing this is to make it known that the media is irrelevent. The police and the media were sharing info, and I was target number one and their conduct of foul behaviour could fill a book. But we had won before we went to Canberra. The reason is we let others know they were not alone, and we let the government know, they will get resistance, something very rare in Australia.
But they can and will be told when they have gone wrong.
We do that today, with every rally we have, as they grow.
I brought the longest convoy into Canberra, and it ended up being kilometres long, of all the convoys, from all parts. I passed under bridges full of Cheering, flag waving crowds.
I struggled to keep the lump in my thoat under control.
However, after standing on a stage in front of Parliament house and addressing thousands, my wife, back in SA, rang me to say how sorry she was that it was a flop. She had been watching the MSM. They were lying, of course. We all now know, they lie. Straight forward bullshit. So was it a waste of time?
No way.
It was not a flop at all. These things never are. They all do some good.
The media do not control the narrative, and they control even less these days.
I see the convoys starting off now, much the same way.
I think by the time they get to Canberra it will be huge.
Never be silent.
Never submit to tyranny and do all you can to fight it.
If I could have been with them this time, I would have, and I would do it all over again without the slightest hesitation. When you are being oppressed, you get together with like minded people, who become like family and you fight for your rights. And you will never feel better than when you do. Hopelessness is an evil condition, and none of us are hopeless..
We rattled the shit out of them. They made mistakes because of it.
I wish the convoys going to Canberra (where there are no pollies at the moment) every success, even though they have already been successful. GO YOU GOOD THINGS.
