Protesting compliance changes

[Messiah]

Just a quicky. I've been having a read of the "how to stop the changes to the 15 yr rule" thread and am considering writing a letter to the relavent ppl etc etc.

Now recently there has been alot protests on the news about all sorts (hecs, pay rates etc etc). Now i know about these issues cos everyone (namely noisy uni students with too much time on their hands) makes a real big public fuss about them. But i only know about the compliance changes because of this forum.

Has anyone thought of actually organising a protest to shed some puplicity on the subject? Or to make it a more general question, has the import scene ever taken a protest further that letters saying "Not happy Jan" over any specific issue? i dont know... maybe a park in or something.

problem is the student protests just make them out to be a bunch of wingeing dickheads .. but anyhow..

yeah i agree about the uni students... they get on my nerves too... but thats mainly cos they get in EVERYONES way instead of just the people they are protesting against... oh and they have a funny definition of "peaceful protesting" ie peaceful means kicking in doors and occupying chancellors offices...

Now the original post wasnt a call to arms, just satisfying my curiosity, but it does strike me that letter writing, while being very polite, doesnt make people pay alot of attention, i know that as i read a letter i'd be thinking "oh you dont want us to do this... thats nice".

But then again, i dont know who is in a position of power and who gives a crap so oi wouldnt know who to complain to anyway.

Should do it as a big cruise.

that would be cool... but i'm sure some dickhead will start doin burn outs and spoiling it..... if everyone just casually drove up to the front door and parked quietly i'm sure it would get a point across

That'd be kool... everyone cruise and park-in their offices so no one could get anywhere... that'd make a point... see if we can fill the surrounding streets bumper to bumper with imports....

Talk about a mass defect day

Jokes aside it sounds like a good idea if it was well organised.

[DJ984]

lol... well you'll just have to make yourself as defect free as possible before the event (or just make your car look that way )

hmmm, this is sounding more and more appealing now. I'm having enough trouble as it is finding time to work and organise the GSD so if anyone wants to organise a protest i'll be up for it. i've pretty much got my car to seem stock.
