Was wondering what all this heavy traffic showing in my map. Found out union workers in their thousands are the culprit. They are not happy with the government's budget and want the 'whole cake' instead of the 'crumbs'.
Luckily I haven't been driving today. I wonder how my fellow ants feel being stranded there in a standstill traffic. Feeling you need to man up and join the protest or having the humble hope of a high demand after the protest finishes?

Uber drivers are by very nature the antithesis of the union movement.
Willing pawns used by big foriegn capitalists to break and kill the regulated taxi industry, that is driver wages and working conditions were regulated so as to make a fair and living wage, uber drivers willingly sacrifice their own financial well being in order to destroy the wages and working conditions of others in the same job, a more sinister form a class treachery cannot be found, thus any unionist caught supporting such scabbery as uber should themselves be hung in the town square after a quick trial and conviction by their fellow worker comrades when the revolution eventually comes.

We might get some surge after culling few ants at the fed square!

The budget was last night, to mobilise so quickly they had planned in advance and they really didn't give a rat's about what was in the budget because they had already planned to take the afternoon off and make complete and utter Richard Craniums out of themselves. Pathetic bludgers!

It would simple to take an accurate aerial calculation of the real crowd - 5k tops.

Up the workers!

The ladies heading to RMIT in Victoria St had to walk 2 blocks. Did a U-turn then avoided CBD. It was jammed.
