Looks like alternative media is alternative for a reason. This is entirely fictional. The border is closed due to the pandemic, so the red dots on a map don't indicate anything to do with a supposed bogan rebellion.

I'd like to see our truckers gum up I-75 for a few days.

Truckies

Off topic, but is there a reasonable explanation for why males in Australia are feminized in examples like Truckie and Bikie, instead of the masculine Trucker and Biker?

I mean, it's like they go around wearing pink skirts and lacy underwear or something.

I think it's probably from the Irish because my Mum's side of the family in London do this as well.

Irish people often call their parents Mummy and Daddy their whole lives.

It's just the way Aussies use nouns mate.

First time I went there, I came in through Tassie, flew up to Brissie, then down to Sydney ... which was pre-abbreviated.

That's what I'm questioning. Why do the Australians use nouns in a way that feminizes males?

And why do Australian males accept it? (assuming they do)

It doesn't feminize in Occa English, mate.

A truckie, brickie, bikie (or chippy) are about as blokey as a prop (or hooker).

Australia are blocking social media like Iran to stop these guys.

How pathetic.

If god damn France can to manage with protests and blockades every other day then an Anglosphere county can take it. Grow a pair Australia.

The state governments have shut the borders,and deployed troops to assist the police

I know a guy from Australia and he said only nazis are protesting and most australians support lockdowns and passports. He is probably brainwashed tho.
