Not only are each state’s truck tyrants after owner drivers and independents now the LNP and Labor’s federal troopers are lining up along the road to go through your truck.
Do the Linfox or Toll trucks qualify for this unnecessary intrusion into the country’s hard-pressed, independent transport operators battling unchecked fuel prices while they go through the roof again?
It will be off the road for a stated, minimal 45 minutes for large fleet-owners and ten to one the owner operators will get many hours penance and huge fines if not put off the road altogether.
This bureaucratic overplay is a result of thousands of chair polishing idiots sitting in parliament house without any gainful production other than to devise ways of cruelling the nation’s crucial transporters. Naturally at the behest of the magnates.
There should be another nationwide halt of every truck for 48 hours or however long it takes to stop the strangling of independent operators and to get excessive government out of industry.
Assistant minister for road safety and freight transport Scott Buchholz said:
“From next month the NHVR will undertake the second National Roadworthiness Survey, which will check the mechanical health of Australia’s heavy vehicle fleet.
“Authorised officers from the NHVR and partner agencies across Australia will conduct a mechanical inspection of 8,000 heavy vehicles including trucks, buses and other special purpose vehicles.”
Australian farmers have long complained they are the most over-regulated industry on earth, but the authoritarian LNP/ALP duopoly wants to outdo its road train loads of shocking, costly farm regulations with an all out assault on truckies already overburdened with the most complicated, convoluted transport regulations on earth.
The roadside troops have long modeled themselves on the SS, tearing truck cabins and loads apart without any accountability leaving distraught drivers with a spelling mistake in their log books thousands of dollars worse off and accruing so many demerit points on their licences they can no longer drive, thus dysfunctioning as a breadwinner for their families.
Sooner or later the corporate system of Australian government will collapse under the enormous weight of its unconstitutional, fascist-styled policies.
The United States corporation is in its death throes making way for President-elect Donald Trump to re-emerge and to restore constitutional sanity to Capitol Hill.
Australia, legally as the 52nd state of America will simply fall into line.
Another Marxist initiative by the comrades of the Queensland Labor Party:

Hi Richard the NHVR is a national initiative running alongside state troopers.Editor
This is the Exact definition of Fascism! “When Government and Large Corporations are in bed together”.I thought Australians fought against Fascism in WWII?
On a similar vein; The Grace Life Church in Alberta is not allowed to demand evidence regarding the charges of breaking “Health Regulations” in Canada…In my book, ‘no evidence, no crime”????
When I was driving trucks interstate in the 80 & 90’s I got booked for not using a ruler in the log (lie) book to mark my driving time behind the wheel .
NSW was the most expensive State to operate heavy transport
As I’ve noted elsewhere, his injuries aren’t that consistent with falling down steps. Rolling down them maybe?
Toll is a disgusting organisation. I would warn people to avoid any dealings with them.
My old man grew up out west during the depression and worked hard all his life and was a devout Labor Man and stand at these polling booths for about 50 years handing out all there how to vote cards because back in the day they worked for the working class , I asked him not long before he died Labor was going down the shit shoot and I asked him what he thought of the Labor Party now and his reply was I just dont know anymore Kevie and that was all he said that poor bugger would be rolling over in his grave now to see what these BASTARDS ARE UPTO NOW and not one of them turned up to his funeral .
In a book, the name of which I cannot remember, on the very last page was written only this: –
“When a society promotes idiots into positions of power, it is destined to collapse under the weight of it’s own stupidity”.
It is very easy to see the left’s methodology.
They are whittling away at all producers who keep this country running.Small business, tourism, farmers, trucking businesses, in their effort to bring us to our knees so they can rule us under the Great Reset.
God help us if they win because our once normal lives will never be the same again.
This seems to be a Queensland initiative, so if you are a truckie, move your base of operations from Queensland to another State until this is all done and dusted, before you operate in or through Queensland again, or at night if for some reason you think you truck could be targeted.
By the same token, have truckies call leach other on their radio’s if they see one of these sites, to warn everyone away from that location and make it hard for the authorities concerned from getting so many vehicles.
Probably play havoc with Grey Ghosts too, especially if their vehicle is put off the road, leaving them stranded miles from anywhere, without the financial means to pay for heavy breakdown vehicle costs and repair costs on top of that too.

In one of your recent articles the allegation was made that the low life premier of Victoria raped fox’s granddaughter. Beating the crap out of andrews was clearly not enough for venting their fury. Punishing every truckie in Australia is simply another way to keep their rage going. These are powerful people, in their minds, who have pollies on a string…dancing to whatever tune they are currently screaming. How much more of this over officiousness are we going to take from the mindless maniacal merciless dolts who want to screw small business into the far recesses of ancient times.
