    If you're coming in on Murphy st, watch for the diesel spill on the exit ramp and down Murphy st towards the railway station.

    Just watched Matty Mac Clean report on TV1 Noon News. Doesn't seem to be as many there as the first time, but then the marchers hadn't arrived yet. Which I could have been there now ta help boast the numbers. What is with the rest of the Country?

    that was just farking embarasing, the biker angle was deliberatly keep low so as not to encourage too many bikes and let this be about the "20,000" union members coming,they could only muster about 50. MBers still out numbered them 2-1, im freakn discusted by the slack ass atempt the unions put in

    Got to admit I too was disappointed with the turnout by the union's members. We were hoping for a lot more than that, but in the end it is what it is. Those that turned up did well. I daresay we'll need to do it alone next time.
    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

    Went down to Parliament grounds today and witnessed a very well organised demo - well done to all involved. Very disappointing numbers watched a very entertaining set of speakers.

    I caught up with John - he's doing well. It was good to see him again.

    Big thanks to StoneY and riffer.

    An even bigger BOOOOO! to the unions. That was dissapointing. Several members of unions who were involved, never even knew about the march onto parliament. I am guessing the unions are too tied up in what they can and cant say to their members about joining a protest????
