"a government that is simply unable to heed the concerns of everyday people."

Agreed. This is probably the only consistency between successive governments. Of any flavour. Why would Labor be any different to the Liberals? There will always be punters marginalised regardless of who is in power.

"This convoy is not linked to any single political party."

The reference to Australia's own (billy) tea movement in conjunction with a convoy does conjure up the Sarah Palin image of pillioning into populism.

Perhaps not a 'single' party but certainly readers can be forgiven for identifying a specific ideological slant as practised by a coalition of parties.

Its easy to sit and whinge - how about you all join the convoy and have your say?

And this is coming from all political persuasions - the feedback is real -

Thanks, Cate S for your constructive comments.

Note that none of the posters heaping scorn on this initiative have offered any alternative to dealing with the situation created by this incredibly incompetent and malicious government.

The Tea Party has been effective. So have the lefty imbeciles. We would not be in this mess without the effectiveness of the motormouthed left, always out on the streets inconveniencing sensible people with their demonstrations in support of retrograde nonsense.

A demonstration about something sensible, by right thinking people is most welcome, and any inconvenience is for a good purpose. It will show our opposition to liars and economic vandals.

This woman has lied, cheated, and ignored the will of the people, up to now, with impunity.
LL,
It's like a poker machine & the gamblers !

So why is a Queensland Party STATE candidate waxing right-wing-nutter on a FEDERAL issue?
