When I worked at the ski fields the union member proposed we largest by not checking lift tickets, didn’t need to do it, company folded, gave a 40% payrise back dated to the start of the season.
Hit em where it hurts. Flipping cats over and breaking into Maccas doesn’t cut it.
There's apparently work happening at the Western end of the freeway extension. Not a protestor in sight.
Of the east-west link?
I feel sorry for those who will be affected with this east-west link. There house will be destroyed and I doubt very much the government will be giving them the market rate plus pitch in for the other costs of moving/relocating etc. Then I think there was a case where a few people had either took out a loan to buy some land or a house there and now the banks are saying get stuffed so they have lost their deposits because of it.
And is the east-west link government built or private?

Mate of mine's folks live in a house that will be going. Got given Market rate + 20%
Is that fair dinkum? Did they get a parasite (Real Estate agent) to value it?
Even still, if your mates parents are happy with it then fair enough. Stunned the government went that far with it.
They are upset about having to leave their home but do belive they are being compo'd fairly.

The same type of idiots protested against the extension of the South East Freeway to Warrigal Rd and the only effect was traffic on Waverley Rd dropped by 70% and people could actually get out of their driveways.
Did you have to walk 20 miles through the snow barefoot to get to the protest? :PWell old school protesting doesn't do much anymore, today's governments and corporations just try to ride it out.
That's why people have had to become more radical, such as people getting overly violent at protests, and in the extreme cases carrying out terrorist attacks.
In some ways things like wiki leaks can allow us to support a cause from the comfort of our own loungeroom.
You are joking THT. Today's protestors are ***** cats compared to the hardcore lefties of the 1970's. I watched in awe as very small ladies went up against coppers on horses and bought more than one down. They were organized, prepared and very dedicated, to the overthrow of everything, I was just a little pissant on the fringe watching the show. And the police back then had no problem with cracking skulls and breaking arms.
Less radical today, without a mob of human rights lawyers to stand up in court. And after the cops gave you a severe beating in the cells, you did hard time in a real jail.
Oh for the good old days !!!
Nah JBomb, caught the tram !
Nothing like seeing middle aged housewives roll marbles under the feet of police horses to bring them down.To be fair, you're comparing a freeway to conscription.what im saying is, in years gone by that **** really meant something. now governments know that people lose interest very quickly.Well old school protesting doesn't do much anymore, today's governments and corporations just try to ride it out.

and back in your day, i dont think people were blowing themselves up at such a fantastic rate of as in the middle east. probably less mass shootings, probably less guerilla warfare in places too.
now governments dont give a fark, about that stuff,
Ah, the anti aparthied demonstrations.
Vietnam had massive numbers, but anti aparthied was just wild stuff.
Oh, and fark the springboks!
Those middLe aged ladies were some of the toughest people I have ever met, and while some may feel for the horse, the cops were using them to break lines and trample people lying on the ground.
And yeh fark those springboks
Can’t see how throwing marbles under the feet of horses is ever ok.
Can't see how driving a horse into a crowd is ever okay.
You’re probably correct, but in both scenarios only one party has a choice
Can't see how driving a horse into a crowd is ever okay.
Drive?

I'd like to think you can drive, coax, steer, turn, hold, hold up, push or even wheel a horse.
But you could also call all of them 'ride.'

Not the horse's fault. I once saw firecrackers thrown under police horses on new years eve in Melbourne circa 1970. The horses, although obviously somewhat distressed, were kept in a prancing sort of check and I for one was happy to see one of the wankers that threw the crackers get coshed by a cop on foot.

Flipping cats is my favourite part. Until they scratch you.
Protests are not meant to be convenient
I think the Yarra council should be commended for finally recognising that leftwing protestors are disabled. B)
