Australian truckers appear to be banding together to shut down their country’s economy in protest of authoritarianism and tyranny over COVID-19 lockdowns and other pointless mandates given that the continent isn’t suffering many infections at all.

One of the truckers, an unidentified man, posted a short video to social media making the announcement while advising his fellow citizens to get busy and stock up before the end of the month when the strike is set to begin.

“We’ve been telling everyone around the world — everyone — and everyone around Australia, it’s on. The truckers are doing it,” he continued.

“We need you and everyone else’s support to watch this video, hand it up, and let everyone in Australia know the truckies are gonna shut down the country,” the man continued. “What that means is you need to go shopping now, get what you can for the next week or two, load your fridge, freezers.

“The truckies are comin’ and they’re gonna pull this country down, and we’re all gonna do it together and remove the sh*t government,” the man went on. “The vets are in, the truckies are in, I’m in. I’m willing to go to jail to save my country and my children.

In addition, truckers are also upset about wages and have other differences with Toll, a multi-billion dollar transport company, after talks broke down with the Transport Workers Union (TWU).

Business Insider Australia reports:

Australia will need to brace for major disruptions from Friday as it experiences its first road transport strike in more than a decade.

Thousands of truck drivers will go on strike on Friday after negotiations broke down between multi-billion dollar logistics company Toll and the Transport Workers Union (TWU).

The industrial action, supported by 94% of the workforce, will see workers pack it in for a full 24 hours, grinding deliveries to a halt, and creating a wave of backlogs and delays.
