It was only a matter of time before an irate tradie threw hands at them.

It's a bit late now, but what are people's thoughts on whether this is the right community for this? It seems pretty political, even if it's not about a political party.

For future posts, should things like this go in [email protected] or is [email protected] ok?

Edit: I think the sense I'm getting is that this would be at home in either community.

@Dave @Ilovethebomb blocking the motorway seems like public interest reporting. I guess follow-up reports on trials and mp responses is for politics.

Yes, agreed to put it in politics.

Everything is political to some extent though, where do you draw the line?

That's the question 😆. For this one, because they are directly campaigning the government to do something, it seemed political to me. But that's what I'm seeking opinions on.

This one seems a lot more politically focused than say the article about the company intentionally damaging archeological sites that was posted earlier today.
