Convoy Stalked by Paranoid Delusions

You’re really just terrified of real Aussies because apparently we’re big and loud and dumb and ‘red-necks’ and are all out to destroy the planet which sustains us. You sad dreamer. Go have an overpriced skim latte and pontificate about how much smarter you are than the rest of us, meanwhile we’ll claim our country back and return it to our ‘redneck ways’.

Go take a Bex like a Real Australian. Why is it that the only posters who use the term ‘redneck’ are the ones who think everyone is calling them a ‘redneck’?

And again with the latte? What is it that you have against milk? The dairy industry should be up in arms over this Convoy of No Lactates.

Oh give it a rest! Yet another thread about the truckies convoy. It really poses a threat to the fragile little egos of your contributors.

Look down your noses all you want and be keyboard warriors in between supping tea in your lavish offices but the truckies have the overwhelming support of the vast majority of Australians, and as the polls conducted by The Canberra Times and 2CC affirm, even the majority of Canberrans.

To think we waste all that money on elections when WFG can speak for the vast majority of Australians.

I wish this was a parody, but from what I can gather, it’s legit.

Your username says it all. How old are you, really? The vile dribble on here from leftie losers like you brings the bile right up to my tongue.

Australia’s population is 90% urbanised. Your ‘revolt’ of ‘real Aussies’ is like being flogged with warm lettuce. Go have a lie down, would you?

All truck drivers are fat, impotent, red neck, conservative, high school drop-out methamphetamine addicts. See? I can make baseless assumptions too.

The people of Canberra should not be made to suffer to get a political message across.

Piss off you cretin. Please produce said Stats to back up your delusional claims. If one of your so-called convoy interrupt my drive to work tomorrow, they will be copping a gobful. Truckies and the others involved dont deserve any sympathy whatsover.

Tea? Only whining Poms drink tea, we all drink soya-latte-frappachinos don’t ‘cha know.

Claims about the majority of CT readers (all 5 of them) supporting the Caravan of Confusion are missing what’s clearly happened. I read the first few pages of comments, and they were a few disinfranchised redneck-types, with the majority reading like normal disgruntled Canberrans, p’d off about yet another horde of protesters who think Canberra means Canberra.

then suddenly, there’s an avalanche of comments, page after page, saying Yeah go get them Convoyers we support you. Ballot-box stuffing, astroturfing, whatever the term is now, but calling on your members to go bomb a comments section is a bit obvious when done in this way!

I think the word on just who this mob is is getting out. The ATA and the NFF distancing themselves from it is very telling. If they’d just made it anti Carbon tax they’d have done a lot better. Piling every crack-pot issue into one bag probably seemed like a good idea at the time, but people with the ability to think are realising that to be involved means to be tacitly supporting all their causes. And some of them are pretty weird.

Ahh here we go:

Just a teensy bit of global poll-spamming:

Love Clarke and Dawe on Abbott’s flipflop http://www.abc.net.au/7.30/content/2011/s3296985.htm :

“Tony Abbott got himself into a logically impossible position this week with regard to mining rights on farm land. How did he do that?”

“He spoke.”

“Correct. And what did he do next?”

“He clarified his position.”

“Correct. And how did he do that?”

“He reversed it.”

“Correct.”

So much support that even members of the convoy have said “Bugger this I’m going home” before they’ve even begun. Dream on!

Looking for alternatives to the-riotact, twitter, facebook, etc for keeping on top of this in real time? UHF CB channel 40 might be good to listen to as that is the usual highway / truck channel.

Could you please provide the sources that confirm this statement.

It seems they don’t even have the support of their own industry peak stakeholder group:
http://www.canberratimes.com.au/news/local/news/general/truck-body-shuns-convoy/2265128.aspx

”What they’re asking for can’t be delivered,” Mr McKinley (Australian Trucking Association) said.
“Mr McKinley said the confused nature of the protest – which included some protesters complaining about Penny Wong and her female partner having a baby – was also a reason why the ATA was not involved.”

But the farmers support it right? Nope.
”It’s not something being driven by our members,” the (NFF) spokeswoman said.

We really should have a sweep on the final numbers…

I’m sure he meant “real Australians”.

Because the rest of us are just latte sipping scum and the first against the wall on Tuesday morning.

Perhaps it says more about the actual support for Barnaby Joyce?

Or perhaps how people on the Darling Downs feel about Tony Abbott’s flip flopping on coal seal gas frakking? The Down’s is one of the worst areas to be affected by this, and Abbott’s support lasted all of 24 hours. But I guess it wasn’t written down in a carefully scripted media release, so that promise didn’t *really* count then? Like his support for a carbon tax?

This from someone coming from Queensland.

“I’m at Wyong with convoy 5. We drove from Caboolture to Yatala Fri night and camped there so we didn’t have to get up at 4am in the cold to get for 6am start. So far it’s been a bit of a sad turn out 2 trucks and two cars here. Had a few join in for support for short distances. So far I’ve seen one front gate/letter box with streamers and a big sign of support not far Sth of Grafton”

Sounds like it’s gonna be huge when those two trucks and two cars get here.

or their supporters could turn their foglights and drive around with them on day and night for ever and ever.

This from the JG website:-

“Reply by robert taylor 1 hour ago
Michael, can you make a request on your facebook for Sydney and Melbourne people who cannot get to Canberra to turn on their car headlights in support of the team in Canberra, they did this last week for the No Carbon Tax Rally. Everyone tell your friends to support with this gesture.” (http://justgroundsonline.com/forum/topics/convoy-of-no-confidence-in-the-federal-government-coalition-of?xg_source=activity)

Anyone with their headlights on is supporting the convoy as well.

Maybe they should also propose wearing seatbelts as a form of silent protest. Perhaps breathing too.

Just more proof..

The convoy of no confidence, the world’s first Emo convoy, now knows that everybody hates it and is out to get it. Will probably start cutting itself soon….

Um doesn’t Barnaby Joyce live in St George in Queensland. Now there is a conspiracy theory.
