Update: Aussie Truckies really are doing it, or are they? NSW/QLD border
๐ EYES ON! ๐
Today, Sept 2nd, a Northern NSW company made a delivery to Brisbane in their Semi. The M1 is open for freight & special exemptions, some essential workers etc only. No blockade. I witnessed a staff member ring their driver to ask if there were any closures, no trucks blocking anything on the M1 between the border & Brisbane.
Google maps shows the north bound lane closed for about 7km, its not really lying, anyone not hauling freight or with a special exemption regardless of jab status cant enter QLD.
No idea whats happening elsewhere at this stage.
They are all the hard border closures, "they" put bollards across the roads to prevent anyone entering QLD. This time they probably have the army there as well, but I really don't know, & no Im not driving up there to have a look.
The 1st time they did this was a while ago & parents were literally passing their kids over the barricades so they could catch the bus or get taken to school by neighbours living on the other side. I doubt this is happening this time as the rules are even more draconian.
All those red dots are police road blocks & or hard barricades. Its like the Berlin Wall. Im in a little town just south of the border, several people came to work here in NSW from QLD one morning a couple of weeks ago & got stranded with the clothes on their backs. No kidding. A neighbour has put one of them up in her granny flat, goodness knows what happened to the others.
u/#Correct
Heya AussieSpectator, is that a link? Every time someone posts one of those u/... links I get a "an error occurred" message. Can you please repost in a different format or something?
Haha must be some coding error for the gifs. It was just "u / # Correct" without the spaces, it just posts the gif of trump saying correct, you might have gifs disabled or something or maybe doesn't work on mobile.
Just agreeing with what you said, the border road closures on maps people keep spreading are probably just the police blocking the border because it's closed.
Thanks, I get it now :) I have styling turned off :) Guess that will do it.
Thatโs wild. Thanks for that info. Wishing you all the best down under.
