Australians and the world are expecting the arrival of the convoy of demonstrators from all directions of the country to Canberra on Monday 31st January 2022 at 10am local time.

The Federal capital Canberra and Sydney, Australia’s largest see are set to witness the second of the world demonstrations against vaccination mandates after the ongoing Canadian demonstration that started Saturday.
But in a country where many trucks
are not privately owned and the owners are not ready to distance themselves
from the government, Australians have decided to drive their cars along with
the available trucks.
It is not yet established how long the
convoys can be all together but Faith Reporters has learnt that there are four
convoys and some as long as more than 70 miles.
Among them is one that left came
from Cairns and left Glenrowan Service Centre at 9:45pm local time, passing through
Brisbane and Gold Coast in this nation in the Pacific and Indian oceans.

The demonstrations' funds are remaining with AUD50,000 to hit the target of AUD200,000, according to the GoFundMe platform.
Australian opposition
political party, the United Australia Party, has expressed willingness to join
the demonstrations, attracting debate as to whether the party will not politicise
a people’s civil disobedience.
Many are suggesting
that party leaders can join as individuals and not be given a platform to speak
to the demonstrators so as to keep the demonstration a people’s thing.
Apparently, the
government has scraped a directive it had imposed on the public, necessitating
proof for vaccination for even indoor sport activities.
It is likely
that the removal of this directive will attract people into indoor sports activities
they have been longing for other than joining the demonstrations.
The Margaret
Basket Ball Association wrote on their Facebook page: “This means it’s business
and basket as usual from tomorrow January 31 [the grand day of the first demonstration
in Canberra”
The Freedom
Convoy 2022 campaign has already spread all over Europe and the Americas, with people protesting vaccination mandates for workers.
So far, Netherlands
and Germany are on the verge of demonstration in their capitals after Canada and
Australia, the two countries among those that suffered stringent restrictions.
A European
Union demonstration is expected in Belgium’s Brussels in mid-February.
