The Dead Carbon Tax Sketch

Convoy of No Confidence on its way to Canberra

This convoy is going to turn into quite a historic event given the amount of grass roots interest on the drive to Canberra. A wonderful display of how direct action can focus people to really think about what is at stake here.

• Convoy of No Confidence in the Federal Government - Routes - if you want to join in, this is the home page for the convoy, complete with routes.
• The Convoy of no confidence is amassing towards Canberra  - Jo Anne Nova's coverage
• Historic Convoy of No Confidence To Descend On Canberra - Coverage on the Stop Gillard's Carbon Tax Site
• Convoy heading for Canberra  - "MORE than 400 vehicles will roll into Canberra this month to protest over the Federal Government's handling of live exports"...
• Fumes fly as convoy drops in with message - "A MASSIVE convoy of trucks, caravans and cars from a coalition of industries will converge on Goulburn later this month on their way to rally against the federal government’s carbon tax. It’s so big that not even organisers of the Convoy of No Confidence can say how many vehicles will be involved. But one thing’s for sure – Goulburn will feel the impact on Sunday, August 21, and authorities are preparing now"...

Note there is very limited coverage in the main stream press, so please share and ensure as many people as possible get to hear about this and take part.

A little video clip to get you in the mood to convoy..
