“Thank you …..”
Message:
You are to be praised for having the courage to take these rogue operators on. I have been campaigning against the proliferation and operations of trucking companys for nigh on 10 years in the Central Qld district [Rockhampton/Livingstone/Fitzroy area]. Because I campaigned against the proliferation of heavy vehicles on our highways/CBD urban streets and in the urban areas with regard to operating from and parking,I was subjected to harassment and threats.
Local Authorities and Politicians are of no use even if they acknowledge the problem. Police will not enforce the Qld Traffic reg’s so you are up against the odds from square one. I have kept files, newspaper clipping[heavy vehicle accidents and deaths caused],letters to editor [local paper], letters to authorities for quite some years. Yes! I intend to purchase some stickers from the local Ballina Lions club for use here in Qld.and spread the word. Thank you for you have given me a push to carry on.

If you live in that area of Central Qld you would also know that the largest cause of death on the road in that area of Queensland is fatigue from miners (not truck drivers) who do are doing 12hr shifts then attempting to drive home to take advantage of their extended weekend/break.
One a day David, one death a day from fatigue from people not remotely related to the the heavy vehicle industry.
Do you keep the clippings on those deaths?
No, bet you don’t.
You are a sad, sad piece of work mate
