canberra convoy poorly supported, page-86

"Police baffled by Alan Jones' claim Convoy of No Confidence trucks stopped at ACT border"

"Some 300 anti-carbon pricing protesters gathered in Federation Mall, in front of Parliament, to hear from Liberal MPs including Opposition Leader Tony Abbott, and the Nationals Barnaby Joyce."

"Broadcaster Alan Jones said the smaller-than-expected crowd was because "thousands" of people had been blocked from attending the rally and that "hundreds" of trucks in the convoy had been stopped at the border as they tried to enter Canberra from New South Wales.

"This is the most disgraceful thing that has ever been done to democracy," Jones told the rally."

"A spokeswoman for Canberra police told news.com.au and other outlets no trucks had been stopped at the border, and no people had been prevented from attending the rally.

Trucks were barred from a short section of Parliament Drive, a link road immediately in front of the building, as agreed with the rally organisers"
