Anti-vaccine truckies protest fizzles out, but more planned for Tuesday (article dated 8/30/21)
Pauline Hanson has pledged to pay any fines issued to truck drivers who blocked a major highway in a COVID protest that anti-vaxxer groups had hoped would become a nationwide movement.
After the protest fizzled out on Monday, more anti-vaccine protests – organised by an infamous conspiracy theorist based in New Zealand – are being considered for Tuesday around the nation.
“Only two trucks showed up and the truckies caved after one hour,” an anti-COVID commentator complained to his 16,000 followers on Telegram on Monday.
“I cannot f–king believe it … so disappointed … gutted.”
It came after a planned ‘blockade’ of Queensland’s Pacific Motorway – which had trended across Twitter and Facebook for days, and even won attention from federal politicians and Sky News – ended up attracting just two trucks.
For days across social media, truck drivers and supporters had claimed they were “going to bring this country down” by blocking major roads and refusing to deliver essential goods.
Across Twitter, Facebook, Telegram and even TikTok, the hashtag #IStandWithTruckies was everywhere, with numerous drivers posting videos from inside their trucks and pledging they would “pull this country down” in protest about the vaccine mandate.
Talk of the protests lit up large groups dedicated to anti-vaxxer sentiment, but also Facebook groups used by the trucking community with up to 100,000 followers.
One group specifically dedicated to the truck protest gained 70,000 followers within a week of launching.
A clip from a Sky News panel discussion, posted to Facebook by Senator Hanson, was the second-most popular post of any politician in the nation last week, according to social media monitoring tool CrowdTangle.
It racked up 16,000 likes and 6000 shares, with the One Nation leader saying the planned protest had her “full support” and claiming truck drivers had “been smashed by lockdown laws, border restrictions, vaccine passports” and more.
The Sky News discussion included part of a viral TikTok video from an Australian man supporting the protest.
Sky did not broadcast the second half of the video, where the man aired false COVID conspiracy claims about Dr Anthony Fauci, the public face of the United States’ virus response.
“Block every highway entering into every state all at the same time & take back Australia,” read one poster for the planned protest, which was seeded into countless social media groups.
“Every truck driver across Australia and New Zealand.”
‘Operation Servo Blockade’
In private Telegram chats seen by The New Daily, some groups laid out detailed proposals for what they referred to as “Operation Servo Blockade”, using aerial satellite maps to show which key highways should be blocked.
Initially the protest was planned for Tuesday, in line with calls from prominent conspiracy theory groups for protests across Australia and NZ at key political buildings like council chambers and federal Parliament House.
At the last minute, some truckies’ supporters decided to shift it to Monday.
Organisers claimed they had arranged ahead of time for Senator Hanson and select media outlets to attend the location.
Monday’s protest had only two trucks in Queensland, which were moved on within two hours. The drivers later parked their trucks at a service station and laid out banners in the car park.
“I’m extremely disappointed that the truckies decided 1 hour was enough. Fuming, actually,” one prominent supporter of the protest told Facebook followers on Monday.
“My deepest apologies, that this didn’t turn out the way it was planned to.”

Good post. Thank you.
That’s too bad. But thanks for posting.
AMEN!
Just saw that post, and am going to watch it, with a fresh cup of covfefe.
Good morning, Gran!
Thanks for the pings.
Australia is certainly sending a wake up call, isn’t she?
Thanks to naturalman1975 for shedding some light on Australia right now.....

How to speak Australian.....
“Prison!”
“He got fired for being a part of that.”
Was it because he had some sort of celebrity status? As long as it’s in someone’s contract then I guess that is fair. But if they are not warned beforehand it isn’t.
Is your weather cooling off? You have had quite a summer!
Locals are telling me that this summer is unusual, but still we found it nothing compared to summer in the desert. But it is cooling off at night more and I am enjoying that!
“Australia has imposed the most brutal lockdown in the developed world, with citizens being told they shouldn’t engage in conversations with each other even while wearing masks.”
I don’t know what they can do about this at this point. But you get what you vote for.
There’s tons of Aussies on the Facebook medical groups, they’re the first ones to point out how wonderful their medical system is, and never forget to use the word free. As if they know what it means. And then the next sentence is that they have to wait 6 months just to get into a g p. Or their surgery was denied. Or they’re mad at having to come over here because they can’t find a single doctor that treats corneal neuropathy.
So I think the majority really are sheep. There’s a few conservatives and I really feel sorry for them.
Coming up on 0800 at the Homestead.
Got EYES ON that one.
....along with everything else.
