Protests only work if you can get the public on your side, garner support. This had the opposite affect. Have a read of the comments on the Herald Sun news article on the website(Among others). No one supports this action... no one. No one can itentify with us as car enthusiasts, unlike the oppressed Greeks.
The franchisee of this Bob Jane T-Mart store will now pay an excess (I assume) and have his premiums increase. In addition to that his business will more than likely experience downtime as a result. A little unfair considering he has nothing to do with the cancellation of this event. How is an increase in your monthly/yearly outgoings and a decrease in income possibly positive?
I cannot see ANY positive result from this action. Please explain.
