Cane carting still full on and averaging 15 hour days.
Now, due to the wet year there is talk of going on after Christmas.
During today's drive back from the Sunshine coast to Childers I got a phone call from an old workmate.
Both driving and chatting as we do, any shit is dribbled but he sounded different.
Defeated.
We had both been working so with trucks that means no outside of work life to really talk about.
But he used these words.
We're just marking time......
I thought it was absolutely spot on in regards to what we are all doing.
Marking time.
What you do when you are no longer free to plan, to follow dreams etc.
and in that is the proof.
They put themselves above the rule of law and therefore we are no longer free.
And we never again will be free until they are forced back underneath it.
