   Yup  Truck drivers will bring their vehicles into city centres between 7.00am and 9.30am. Sorry about the bad wording and bold bits, i copy and pasted it from a work email (they want us at work ontime odviously lol)

   Details are all in the Herald too. I suspect that it is going to block up the traffic most of the morning and even into the afternoon.

   I think its great they are protesting, means I'll be getting up extra early to get into work, but so what its only one day.
 Everyone else here has taken the day off - slackers!!
 Won't be too impressed if I'm late getting home though it is Friday after all    |

   Oh yeah, I didn't think about the chaos at your end Kels!
 I agree with Sam to a certain degree, it is going to make life difficult for the rest of us who have nothing to do with it, and the govt probably won't pay much attention, but I also think good on them for exercising their democratic right to protest.

 Nah, they probably won't listen, but it sounds like it'll be a damned good protest - if you're going to do it, might as well do it well!!  Good on them for organising it - didn't seem to take long and it'll make quite a mark (says someone who lives in West Auckland, so won't be affected by it!)
