Convoy to Canberra: The Day Australia Changed Forever

The humanitarian crimes committed by Australian authorities against their own

citizens, beginning in early 2020, will live on in infamy, but it is the people

themselves who create a nation's history.

On the 12th of February 2022, the largest gathering of Australians in the nation's

history marched on the National Parliament in Canberra to protest the

totalitarianism of the Australian Government, chanting "Sack Them All, Sack

Them All".

Crowd numbers are notoriously difficult to calculate and prone to distortion.

Estimates varied between demonstrably incorrect official figures of 4-10,000, up

to three million. Many estimates settled around the 1.4 million figure, which we

believe to be fair.

Whatever the number, no politician, intelligence agency, police force or political

strategist in Australia failed to notice that a massive number of people marched

on the nation's capital, with a remarkable amount of good cheer, jubilance and

camaraderie; character traits which the nation's leaders had failed to show in the

previous two years of authoritarian derangement.

Between 2020 and 2022 Australia was gripped by a madness which was

spiritual, administrative, political, social and judicial in its dimensions.

This humble record can only do a little to record this seismic shift, a profound

turning point in the history of the nation.

In the preceding two years many Australians stood up against the rising tide of

tyranny, only to find themselves pepper sprayed, bashed by police in repressive,

dictatorial abuses which made headlines around the world, imprisoned, fined,

thrown out of their jobs, socially marginalised and ridiculed in the mainstream

media.

Across the preceding two years there had been one remarkable demonstration

after another, attracting at first tens, then hundreds, then thousands, then

hundreds of thousands of participants.

But if the nation's government manipulated mainstream media was to be

believed, they numbered only a few, and all were either nut jobs or conspiracy

theorists.

Nothing could have been further from the truth; but the protestors, from all walks

of life, were given no credit and no voice - until they found their own.
