The ALDODA group is still up to its old tricks and it is evident that they will go to great lengths to shamelessly hi-jack any event for their own agenda without any regard for what is in the best interest of the industry.
It is painfully obvious that they are only interested in their own importance; the blatant and callous disregard for the process that I have been pursuing will see this industry lose an opportunity to head off reforms that would have given some hope to everyone.
Lyn Bennetts and Peter Schuback are opportunist of the worst kind and feed off the success of others,they will fail in their crusade as no Government can meet the demands they are seeking, their militant and confrontationist style of action will cause widespread condemnation and a very harsh police reaction, and I encourage the authorities to administer the full weight of the law in this regard.
Hughie Williams warned me they would do this and he said I wouldn’t beat them, well let’s see about that.
It is my intention to fly to Brisbane over the shutdown period and the delegates will be there as well, We will promote the shutdown as we had intended it to be, peaceful and respectful of the community, we will condemn any action to create mayhem or blockades as that was never part of my plan.
It never over until it’s over, the fight goes on.

It is interesting to see an article on the Agmates website http://www.agmates.com/blog/2008/07/23/truckers-unions-ready-to-fight-gr... Click on the link, it is well written and reflects the true picture, and I congratulate them on it.
Until next time
