Call for Farmers, Fishermen & Truckies to Stand United.

Had a short trip to Sydney as a guest of SBS to go on their show “Insight” in regards to petrol prices .

They were nice to me and gave me a total of about 30 seconds. Bit hard to get the message out in 30 seconds but I tried.

What the people of Australia don’t seem to realise is just how important the farming Fishing and transport industries are to our economy .

The farmers stop producing and the people don’t get to eat good fresh Australin produce and meat , the fishermen go broke or get out of the industry and we will all be eating sea foods from god only knows where and it will more than likely poison all of us.

If we don’t have the transport industry the farmers wont be able to move their produce , The fishermen wont be able to sell their sea food and the rest of Australia will come to a grinding Halt .

For all too long all three industries have been bastardised by governments and people that have nothing to do with the industries. Shiny bums that sit in offices and tell us how to run our industries whilst all the time they are involved in selling us out. They look at all of us as milking cows and as fragmented industries and they think they can walk all over us.

I have some bad news for them and the transport industry is about to deliver it. We are no longer going to stand for the governments crap and we are fighting back .

The 28 th of JULY Is D DAY - THE TRANSPORT INDUSTRY IN AUSTRALIA IS SHUTTING DOWN FOR TWO WEEKS.

We will no longer be hit with Hugh fines for minor breaches. We will no longer stand back and watch our drivers die because the government has fail in its duty of care to provide parking bays for drivers with the required facilities (Showers and Toilets).

Photo: This is a photo of a Truck Parking bay I recently took. There are no facilities. It stank of used baby nappies and general rubbish yet its places like these our governments have legislated that our drivers must stop and rest. It’s a disgrace.

Phot of dirty truck stop

We will no longer let them pick us off one by one. The Farmers , The fishermen and the Transport industry combined are the most powerful political and economic group in Australia. If we join forces we can and will make the government run this country to the benefit of all Australians.

We will be able to get rid of Politician’s that don’t perform . We will be able to get rid of the so called groups that claim to represent us and do next to nothing. We will be able to demand that bad laws are fixed and bad economic policy is also fixed .

Australia is for all Australians. Our hard working Fishermen, Farmers and Transport industry workers have invested a lot of time and money into their industries and should get a fair return for their efforts.

ALL Employers, Farmers and Manufactures should be very afraid of the new road transport act of April 2008 Chain Of responsibility. We are all at risk .

Without doubt the time is now!

United is the only way our farmers, truckies and fishermen have enough volume to be heard. Politicians who attempt to de-cry this protest are the very people who have caused it by not listening to the problems being encountered by these groups - long ago. It was easier to dismiss them and move on.

Two weeks without transport moving about the Nation will thankfully have politicians listening with both ears.

We’ve talked the talk now it’s time to walk the walk. Hang in there guys and support will flow and grow into a torrent.

A protest rally by a huge number of farmers in WA is a very safe bet.

Great stuff Peter, but what can the average man on the street do to support.

Maybe kids all stay home from school on one day. All bus drivers do same etc. etc.

Looking for more ideas for town & city cousins to help walk the walk.

This once great nation is facing its biggest D day ever and most people don’t realise it.

Tha a a anks for the great job you’re doing Peter!

Lets all get together The farmers , The fishermen and the transport industry to fight to get a better deal for all Australians . The avarage man on the street can point out to their freinds that with out trucks Australia stops and our farming and fishing industries are going to die if all Australians do not support them . Once they are gone food prices will go up by around 200 % can your freinds afford that .

Thanks for your comments and if you would like a list of our claims please Email me @ jamfig@austarnet.com.au and I will send it to you . Again many thanks for your suport
