I have assembled material on the proposed truckies strike. There are various sources, and different positions, ranging from a day strike, to an all-out attempt to bring the country to its knees. It is all possible, but at this point in time, I can’t call it. It would be wise to heed the advice of on trucker, cited below, who said to stock up on supplies. That would include petrol/diesel for the car as well. The worst case scenario, which is highly unlikely in my opinion, is a massive shut down of trucks for two weeks. By that time even the supply depots for the supermarkets will be empty, and desperate people will start doing home invasions.
Home invasions are on the rise already, as covered at this blog in previous posts, so this will push it over the edge. And, the home invasion trend is for the invaders to come armed with melee weapons, eager to use theme. In Brisbane, these home invasions are occurring in the richer suburbs now, so those feeling smug, warm and cosy in the green leafy suburbs should be vigilant if SHTF occurs.
