Convoy of No Confidence - they're the Australian version of the Tea Party...

I don't have a problem with most protests, even if they are by homophobic and racist twits with a complete ignorance of how the Australian political system works. What I do have a problem with is this bunch of idiots deliberately timing their arrival in Canberra for the morning peak-hour rush and one of the organisers being quoted in a WA paper as intending to gridlock Canberra and cause massive disruption. If that timetable at the Riot Act is correct, then both routes I can take to work are going to be clogged by morons in big trucks. They're incapable of telling the difference between the people who actually live here and the politicians the rest of Australia inflicts on us poor locals every time Parliament sits. I held my nose and went and looked at the site that's organising this, and they adore Pauline Hanson, think Bob Brown wants to start a world government, hate Muslims, think young Afghan refugees are cowards coz they won't go back to Afghanistan to fight in a war that 'true Australians' are fighting on their behalf, and think the current Australian government is illegitimate...

Combine them and the politicians, and I'm not sure how much concentrated stupid Canberra can handle in one day. And it's scary that there's people out there that admire the US Tea Party...
