Thank you to everyone who participated in, or supported, the Convoy to Canberra last Sunday. The event passed without incident, which is a credit to the participants, TWU officials, the NSW Police and RTA. The day was a major show of strength for the TWU, with 532 vehicles making the journey to Canberra from places including Queensland, the Newcastle and Hunter Region, the Central Coast, the South Coast, Sydney and country NSW. By turning out in large numbers from across the state, and further afield, our members and supporters have provided demonstration of our strength for all to see and I can confirm the federal government took notice.
