"Bring on the Gridlock!" Says Libertarianz Leader

Libertarian leader Bernard Darnton applauds New Zealand's truckers, who are leading the way in saying to this busybody government: "Naff off!"

"The limits to government bullying are generally measured by the apathy of the populace," says Darnton. "New Zealanders have been pushed around and trodden upon by scum, but most have responded only by quiet moaning over the dinner table -- New Zealanders' apathy, however, has only made the bullies more grasping, not less."

"For once, tomorrow, the apathy is over. The anger of New Zealanders at all the thieving and the nannying and all their venal power lust will be directed at government through thousands of truckies in cities across the country protesting the overnight raid on their wallets by Annette King -- protesting against a government, and a minister, that has proved better at doing us over than it has at protecting us, and has now taken the opportunity to prove it by putting the boot into an industry which is already on the canvas from rising fuel prices.

"The chaos caused by truckers tomorrow morning is a barb directed at big government on behalf of all of us," concludes Darnton. "Let's get in behind them."

"It's enough to make you vote LIbertarianz!"
