Someone's spreading the rumor that the politicians will be flying into one of the airports near Cooma tomorrow, and I'm kinda worried some of them will try the same crap they're doing around civic on the Monaro/through Bredbo and Cooma.
I think they're very adament on going to the GG's House tomorrow. I'm thankful none of them have had the idea to block the train station. Like, I'm shocked the thought of pollies coming via train hasn't crossed their mind.
Just had one outside my place near Glebe Park at 9:30PM. They seemed drunk and or on drugs. Going on about the mandates, marching on parliament etc. I'm over them.
Dude it is not crazy. I was stressing about going to the local shops today as I did not want to be yelled at for just living. It sucks that you can't take your kids out.
Ignore them. They thrive on attention. I think the best thing to do is not take any notice of them at all. I admit it's not easy to do - pretty much impossible when they clog up the roads around the airport, but wherever possible just ignore them. It's even more important to ignore them if you're unfortunate enough to have to deal with them one on one. Just wear a mask and tell them you're exercising your freedom to look after your health. If they get shitty, calmly tell them they obviously don't care about other people's freedoms and leave it at that. Maybe the interaction will leave them with something to think about (I doubt it, but it's worth a shot). Eventually they'll get bored when they realise that nobody cares about their issues and 5 million people aren't going to flock to Canberra. As they're certainly not as smart as the average bear, it'll probably take quite some time for them to reach that realisation. They also seem to be quite factionalised, so perhaps that'll be their undoing. I have a feeling that they're going to start arguing with each other more often, especially since a lot of them are starting to talk about being sleep deprived due to late nights and too much noise at epic. There seem to be a few ring leaders, each with over inflated egos, who don't seem to like each other all that much. I think once they start arguing among themselves about what they should do next, it'll pretty much be over... At least I hope so
I hear the ACT Car Horn Appreciation society is holding an event this evening, gotta do it late at night so you can hear the nuanced tones. I believe it’s being held in Mitchell because no one lives there and it won’t disturb anyone.
I inadvertently drove past epic and took the opportunity to put the horn down for the entire time I passed them, whenever anyone looked I gave them the finger.
Bets on Twitter were Hoody for PM with Peter Little as GG and Jacqui as AG, with Bosi staging an all out military coup and establishing himself as dictator 2 weeks later
Uggboots and gloves!? This is shorts and t-shirt weather. I guess after six years here my body's forgotten what it's like to live somewhere that doesn't freeze in winter.
I honestly don’t understand how they didn’t do their own research and see what canberra weather can be like or at least pack in preparation for a range in temperatures. Although if they’re still here in the weeks leading up to Anzac Day…
They are also starting to realise they aren’t very welcome in town! A post was out asking for food vans… I get the feeling they aren’t having much luck.
Tbf I’m in a Facebook group where some of the members like to go into these groups and post stuff like this to troll. And I don’t blame anyone for falling for it because the imitation is spot on lmao
All good getting in to the airport, I Got to the police check point, wearing my mask and told the lovely officers I’m heading to the Vaccination clinic, he laughed and I said I think You’re good!
This raises an interesting point that I’ve been bumping up against these last few days: why is there such a hardcore Christian element to these protests? I mean I was expecting it to a certain extent, but it’s been way more pronounced and overt than I would’ve thought.
I was part of a small peaceful protest in garema place against the religious discrimination bill that alp + lnp are trying to get passed in two days. I was worried we’d be mistaken for the qanon nutters but they threatened to run us over with their cars, beat us up, and we had plenty of people flipping us off and jeering. So many kids were with us :(
I will say sorry for swearing now. But fuck this selfish assholes, winning about freedoms being taken away. What freedoms, it's clear they don't have a clue what having freedoms taken away is actually like. Fuck those people. It annoys me more especially when I know people who are at a higher risk of the complications of covid, so seeing these assholes continue to be selfish makes my blood boil.
Wow that sounds like a great idea. Rarely do I get to use my horn because I worry I could annoy residents. This is thoughtfully away from any hard working Australians though so it will be fun.
Idiots. Was working yesterday in civic when they all decided to go and exercise whatever “right” they think they have. i was abused by them for hours, so badly. some of them tried to start looting and threw money at me. peaceful protest my ass.
I'm going to be honest. I've had a couple of chats with people from this protest and most are generally very nice people some are creepy and weird but I think it's a loud small group. Most of them are there to protest against mandates and lossing their jobs to them. This isn't the anti vaxx crowd but the anti mandate crowd. I really don't care if this gets down voted it's simply my opinion.
The only large groups who require vaccination are healthcare workers & emergency services workers, with a small amount of other workers. Its fuck all people who've 'lost their jobs' (especially as the national vaccination rate is at 95%, so really can't be that many people since 5% of Australians wouldn't all work int hose inudstries), but a lot of idiots who think they've lost something, or can't understand basic epidemology principles.
They're still pretty comfortable being led by people yelling on their open mic sessions about overthrowing the govt, about arresting everyone for treason, claiming the unvaccinated will be put in camps and gassed to death. You are the company you happily keep.
Just drove to Queanbeyan and it was dead. Police have packed up all blocks bar the airport entry itself (you can get into the airport if you don't fit the profile)
Can't speak for the start of your trip, but the Inner North is quite quiet atm. Traffic along Northbourne seems a little busier than a normal Sunday arvo, but not by much.
I've only been in the Watson Dickson area, they were going up and down the streets at like 20ks at around 2/3pm yelling and honking. Moved on by about 4, not sure where to
Just saw the videos of some guy having a close shave with a police bike and then going off at them for riding on the median strip- they wouldn’t be on the median strip if you selfish pricks hadn’t caused all this traffic chaos. Stupid fuck.
My daughter walked past one of the dumbernats sitting on retaining wall. He took the cigarette out if his mouth to yell, ‘Get rid of the fucking mask and get some fresh air!’
Evidence? This same thing was passed around earlier this morning in this thread as a rumour going around the sov shitizens social media. Large tub of salt required for this one unless you have direct proof.

Okay y’all so don’t bother counter reviewing that towing company that got slammed by the antivaxxers!! The company has apologised profusely to the anti vaxxers and claimed they only moved three cars then stopped and they refused to take any money because they don’t agree with it.
They've impounded cars doing burnouts on the basis of videos posted by social media in the past, no doubt there's a team of people sitting in a computer lab just taking notes on video after video. I think a lot of people will be coming home to a lot of fines in the next few days.
So I drive an old land cruiser with Victorian plates and over the past two days I have had 3 people in the city call me a moron and telling me to piss off. I'm a double vaxed uni student and wear a mask everywhere. Don't be a fuck nut and profile people just because they're driving a 4by
Stay safe mate, when the virus kicked off in the ACT so many people in Queanbeyan were like "WhY aRE TheRE ACT PlATEs?". It's definetly your licence plate.
I got abused at the Farmers markets by people thinking I was with them too, likely on account of wearing a Guns N Roses T-Shirt. This new attitude of this subreddit says that this could never happen and I'm a liar, therefore you must be too.
Don't worry, alot of Canberran's lump people into one basket. Caveat is that if they are a member of the APS (quite a few in Canberra), they are violating the code of conduct.
Guy tried that on outside the NLA on Friday - he took his wheel off and when the cops told him to put it back on he said he had defects, "look at me brake pads" or something to do with suspension.
My freaking ice cream melted while I was stuck in a traffic jam trying to leave Aldi. Road was clear when we went in, bedlam when we came out forty minutes later. I'm so mad.
they’re totally fucked. They’re blocking people catching planes etc., and you can imagine anyone trying to get into the Animal Hospital… They’re broadcasting interviews on the side of the road laughing about Canberrans being asleep. People actually getting out of their cars up near Duntroon WALKING to the airport … one girl, very fucking unimpressed … but they’re all laughing and harassing her. Cops seem to be doing SFA but standing around.
They think they can block the pollies from coming into Canberra. Cops has blocked the entrance to the actual airport so rn all they're doing is just stopping people going to Majura Park and people actually needing to catch fucking flights and laughing at those
I support them. And the Canadian truckers. And all people around the world opposing government mandates. The global government mandates ride roughshod over fundamental human rights to bodily autonomy and informed consent. Enough is enough. This is a human rights issue and I applaud everyone, vaccinated or unvaccinated, who is standing up, around the world, for human rights.
Drove past EPIC and everyone is laying on the horn the whole way past. I also swear I could smell trash (I’m not being funny, there was stank).
Defecating in buckets do be like that sometimes. Human filth
Isn't the Canberra show coming soon? Have the overflowed from the camping grounds to the entire place? Can EPIC carry them long term?

Lmfao they think they’ve got the equivalent of 3/4 of Canberra’s population,
Just had one outside my place near Glebe Park at 9:30PM. They seemed drunk and or on drugs. Going on about the mandates, marching on parliament etc. I'm over them.
Yes.
It's not crazy at all. If you have the means to travel south, there are other great parks to take your kids to. I hope you don't run into another one.
Dude it is not crazy. I was stressing about going to the local shops today as I did not want to be yelled at for just living. It sucks that you can't take your kids out.
Hello! You have made the mistake of writing "ect" instead of "etc."
so, how can we, as average Canberrans, fight back against these freedumb morons and convince them to never again darken our doorsteps?
Get vaccinated if you're due and haven't yet, that's how.
Post signs around saying to honk if you support vaccine mandates

Everyone spam their channels with misinformation
How would they be able to tell the difference?
Their channels are already full of misinformation..
Absolute long shot of a question - is there any idea on how long the cookers plan to be a nuisance?
I'm just hoping that as soon as the Canberra show starts to be set up they will have nowhere else to stay.
Only til they get:
Until the vaccine mandates are lifted and the politicians are jailed for running paedophile child breeding farms.
Anybody good with directions?
Parking fines aren’t enforceable under maritime law anyway.
Free 2 day parking out the front of OPH on the lawn.
PSA: They're planning a mass maskless walkthrough of the malls. Who knows if they'll get the numbers but worth watching out
Have they said times yet?
thoughts???

Fun fact: the AFP don’t own any helicopters (they rent some of the same ones the NSW RFS use, and some others though).
They’re having a breakdown on the twitch stream about going to OPH and graham hood
Linnkkkk
Do you have a link please?
Does anyone know what the cookers are doing tomorrow?
Oh dear, the police at the GGs are pretty serious…
Going to the Governor General I just saw on Facebook

Hey, someone's about to make some good money right there. Respect the hustle
So are the roads around the airport clear now? We've got a vax appointment tonight
All good getting in to the airport, I Got to the police check point, wearing my mask and told the lovely officers I’m heading to the Vaccination clinic, he laughed and I said I think You’re good!
yeah went to majura at 545 and all clear.
Oh no
Oh yikes, one's noticed the similarity between Meta and the ABC logo! Clearly they are in cahoots!

This is getting very close to wanting to live in Nth Korea. This is democracy, it can be messy and annoying, get over it.

Fucking gold.
Canberran of the Year? You can exactly where his patience and politeness runs out, I found it so satisfying.
Hahaha. Buy that man a beer!
I will say sorry for swearing now. But fuck this selfish assholes, winning about freedoms being taken away.

It annoys me more especially when I know people who are at a higher risk of the complications of covid, so seeing these assholes continue to be selfish makes my blood boil.
“Car horn appreciation society”. Big lol
So long as the wind is blowing in the right direction, I’m in favour of this!—Don’t want the folks of Watson getting the worst of it.
Wow that sounds like a great idea. Rarely do I get to use my horn because I worry I could annoy residents. This is thoughtfully away from any hard working Australians though so it will be fun.

Quick question - how's the traffic.
Just drove to Queanbeyan and it was dead. Police have packed up all blocks bar the airport entry itself (you can get into the airport if you don't fit the profile)
Can't speak for the start of your trip, but the Inner North is quite quiet atm. Traffic along Northbourne seems a little busier than a normal Sunday arvo, but not by much.
Google maps looks like it’s all clear now??

dumb question..
I assumed it was a meth reference lol
Coz their cooked as bro
I got in trouble from my wife for giving them the finger out the window as I overtook them. It was worth it.
I may have done the same yesterday 😂
lol same!
I got enthusiastic participation from my daughter when I wound down my window and did the same whilst yelling a few choice words.
Just saw the videos of some guy having a close shave with a police bike and then going off at them for riding on the median strip- they wouldn’t be on the median strip if you selfish pricks hadn’t caused all this traffic chaos. Stupid fuck.
Yep, that’s Jace. He also tried stepping into a civilian BMW X5 that drove past and then went and yelled at the woman in her passenger window.
Correction: That’s a “medium strip” mate
Anyone got a livestream of these pelicans ?
Complete donuts 🍩.
Best bet is
DiscoDeadPigeon on twitch
Honestly all these protesters are doing are making the locals hate them even more
I hated on them multiple times.
Old mate clearly impressed with the delays surrounding the airport.
What’s the flag on fuckhead’s truck at the end?
Today we are all old mate
Speaking truth to 'power'.
How do I buy this bloke a case? 🍻
That was pretty bloody funny. As old mate in the car works out the guy with the camera is one of the unhinged lot.
Just had them drive past, had a bunch of people in my building yelling at them to fuck off. You make me proud Canberra.
My daughter walked past one of the dumbernats sitting on retaining wall. He took the cigarette out if his mouth to yell, ‘Get rid of the fucking mask and get some fresh air!’
I would take the down votes as a point of pride. You made them mad enough to react

Has that been confirmed? I heard it was being passed around the nutters' communications channels, but I'd take that with a a few kilos of salt.
I hope the cops are doing something about all the idiots
I’m really hoping they all drive through the city and get a happy snap in the mail in a few weeks time! A memento of their visit to the capital!
They've impounded cars doing burnouts on the basis of videos posted by social media in the past, no doubt there's a team of people sitting in a computer lab just taking notes on video after video. I think a lot of people will be coming home to a lot of fines in the next few days.
Sounds like they’re going to brigade the tram next, and “spread their love” to the locals in the city centre.
Caution. Monkeys throwing faeces.
Is love the name of a new variant or something? Because I can’t see them spreading much else.
Which one? Lady Denman drive or EPIC?
Why are so many of them flying the red ensign? What's the meaning? Some kind of sovereign citizen thing?
TL;DR: Pre-1950’s, blue flag was for official use only, red flag was for civilian use.
Something to do with Maritime Law being the overriding law of the land… or some bullshit like that.
The think it’s Australia’s confederate flag

Some might be heading to the zoo too.
Might need a translator service. Anyone know how to understand yobbo?
They're going off in Dickson right now
I wish they'd stop saying 'they're doing this for you'. I don't want you to. Stop it and leave me alone.
Perfect way to deal with them!

Scroll down slightly to the recent comments.
So I drive an old land cruiser with Victorian plates and over the past two days I have had 3 people in the city call me a moron and telling me to piss off. I'm a double vaxed uni student and wear a mask everywhere. Don't be a fuck nut and profile people just because they're driving a 4by
I’m so glad I sold my 20yo, NSW-plated 4wd last week
Tell them who you are - vaxxed, masked, student, and tell them to fuck off and stop being a bunch of profiling cunts.
Stay safe mate, when the virus kicked off in the ACT so many people in Queanbeyan were like "WhY aRE TheRE ACT PlATEs?". It's definetly your licence plate.
Just don’t indicate and you’ll be like a local
Yeah, we were thinking it'd be a bad week to be driving around town with out of town plates.
I got abused at the Farmers markets by people thinking I was with them too, likely on account of wearing a Guns N Roses T-Shirt. This new attitude of this subreddit says that this could never happen and I'm a liar, therefore you must be too.
They think you're one of the cookers from Victoria.
Don't worry, alot of Canberran's lump people into one basket. Caveat is that if they are a member of the APS (quite a few in Canberra), they are violating the code of conduct.
It's probably the Vic plates not the land cruiser. Every mum and military officer drives a 4WD in Canberra.
I guess that's the price you pay for the sweet pleasure of 4WD ownership.
They're also faking breakdowns the shits
Well I know of one towing company that won’t help them
Guy tried that on outside the NLA on Friday - he took his wheel off and when the cops told him to put it back on he said he had defects, "look at me brake pads" or something to do with suspension.
They don’t seem to be around the city today, nothing on Cth Bridge either.
Bunch of them returning from the airport from about 3pm.
oh they’re heading back to the city now …
https://www.facebook.com/janayam/videos/675181826849142
I was heading to Braddon from Fyshwick and saw them all along Fairbairn about an hour ago. Maybe they actually decided to go to the airport.
I would LOVE to see them go through Fyshwick/Kingston
As someone in Queanbeyan please no.

Protests would never ever work otherwise...
They’re pretending to be ‘broken down’ now … opening up bonnets & getting out of their cars.
Not for it, but that’s kind of the idea of a protest, “to disrupt”
The airport roads are fucked.
My freaking ice cream melted while I was stuck in a traffic jam trying to leave Aldi. Road was clear when we went in, bedlam when we came out forty minutes later. I'm so mad.
they’re totally fucked. They’re blocking people catching planes etc., and you can imagine anyone trying to get into the Animal Hospital… They’re broadcasting interviews on the side of the road laughing about Canberrans being asleep. People actually getting out of their cars up near Duntroon WALKING to the airport … one girl, very fucking unimpressed … but they’re all laughing and harassing her. Cops seem to be doing SFA but standing around.
Looking very clogged on the roads leading to the airport.
What do they hope to achieve at the airport? Do they think Scomo and co. are just going to come walking out of gate 11 arrivals?
Um ExcUSE me, but don’t you know these protesters are SAVING these poor people from the OPPRESSION of … living their lives happily and peacefully?
They think they can block the pollies from coming into Canberra. Cops has blocked the entrance to the actual airport so rn all they're doing is just stopping people going to Majura Park and people actually needing to catch fucking flights and laughing at those
The airport blockade has materialized. Traffic is backed up to the Majura Parkway exit on Fairburn Avenue
Should someone tell them the pollies tend to exit via Fairbairn, and watch them try and storm the RAAF base with much hiliarity?
don’t tell me they also blocked Pilagio ave to QBN which is the other way to get to Canberra.

I support them. And the Canadian truckers. And all people around the world opposing government mandates. The global government mandates ride roughshod over fundamental human rights to bodily autonomy and informed consent. Enough is enough. This is a human rights issue and I applaud everyone, vaccinated or unvaccinated, who is standing up, around the world, for human rights.
But the mandates aren't put in place by people in Canberra, but in Perth, Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide. They are in the wrong damn place.
Unvaccinated people in

Y'all love to talk about rights, but none of you talk about responsibility. It's a self-centred world view.
I’d like to speak for every immune compromised and vulnerable person when I say “Fuck you.”
