Hey Mick you see if we work together we can get it out their . Not like your attempts to block people from your meetings . That didn’t work . All you did was make your self look silly . Maybe you will wake up and work along side the other people that are all aiming in the same direction as you are trying to help to protect the farming , Fishing and transport industry . Lots of luck with your political party .

Mick, Go for it buddy,

I reckon half the nation is quietly behind you and the other half will never ever understand what its all about. The trouble with common sense is that its not very common!

Unfortunately the country is run by people who will never have a clue what this is all about. I hope you guys can hang out until you get a worthwhile result. We’ve got enough tucker salted away to go as long as it takes.

If nothing comes of it I’ve got a couple of good horses you can have if you have to go back to doing what grandad used to do!! Be Tough.

Go for it truckies.

The new trucking laws are ridiculous and will bring the trucking industry and the livestock industry to its knees.

A lot of rural producers have wanted to do this (withold food from the markets for a couple of weeks) for a long time, but in their usual style producers wont stick together.

Hopefully it will have massive results for all of us and rural people will start to make a profit so they can stay in the industry.

Go Mate Go,our truck stops with you. Lets hope ALL farmers, Truckies can see that if we stick together we can make these clowns see sense!!

If any one wants a coppy of the new laws or the list of demands put to the government please Email : jamfig@austarnet.com.au

Great work fella’s,

I’m a interstate driver that has given the road away because of our treatment. This shut down will show EVERY FAMILY NEEDS A TRUCKIE

chin up…………

Shane If you want a list of the claims put to government please Email : jamfig@austarnet.com.au

ROFL at jamfig email address…….. sounds about appropriate for you Peter! back the front FIGJAM.

Here’s a link to the list of demands: Click Here

We’re parking up in support. Finally a representative with commonsense and respect to represent this industry, WAY TO GO MICK!!

I’ve run 2 Polls about the Truck Park Up on other forums and was pleasantly surprised at the results.

The question: “Do you support the national transport industry shutdown to force the present Government to negotiate the new laws being implemented in September?”
346 votes
Yes - 335
No - 11

I wait patiently to see the results.

I was born into a transport family, my mum and dad drove, 3 brothers, my husband and myself all drive, so I know pretty well what is happening out there and the public needs to be aware of the targets the truckies have become.

GO FOR IT. We will be parking up.

Watching the 7 30 report I could not see that the TWU actually said they where telling there members to support the shut down.

THE TWU IS HEDGEING ITS BETS .

Wont now come out in support of the transport workers and wont condemn their action .

A bit short on two vital appendages I think.

I am supporting the shutdown but I also support the ALDODA trying to get things done especially for the owner driver.

We are only going to get one go at this & it needs to be done properly (which it seems to be).

The last thing we need is two different organisations trying to achieve the same things working against each other.

There is no infighting .

You have three groups of people representing the transport industry . One group is only going after issues that effect them and a select section of the transport industry .

The other two groups are trying to get many issues addresses and if you would like a copy of the issues please phone me or email me and I will send them to you . jamfig@austarnet.com.au . Ph 07 41 24 88 99 .

We have told the police that their will be no blockage of roads and we have asked all drivers to just go home and take a holiday . Spend some time with their wives and kids .

We have also asked that they help people like meals on wheels and Lions to make sure that none of our elderly people are affected by the action being taken by transport operators.

Many thanks

Peter Schuback

WELL DONE, GO FOR IT

We are just a one truck company and like all others are sick of how the gov’t & big company’s treat the truckies.

Our driver (son in-law) reports that a large amount of drivers he has spoken to are about to resign from the union because they have had enough of Hughie Willams.

The comment made by the Canberra bureaucrat shows exactly how he considers that truckies are nothing but dirt to be trodden on and its Ok to rip them off.

WE MIGHT BE SMALL, BUT WE’LL BE PARKING UP
AUSTRALIA NEEDS THE TRUCKIES.

Alright I am at home now a single truck operator willing to support the shutdown as long as no blockades are involved.

I supported the aldoda yesterday but after receiving a copy of there “rumor has it” paper it only made me angry & wanting to go to work.

I am still going to stay at home for 2 weeks because I have been whinging about fuel prices & log book fines NOT because some mob who I don’t know THREATENS people who do not go along with there chain of thinking. This is not the way to get people onboard.

Mick Pattel & co let me now what the next step is after 28/08 where are youse going and what are yous doing if you want me to stay at home for two weeks which I am willing to do let me know whats happening.
