July 18th - Government Waste Awareness Ride

1,000 motorcycles rode through the Burnley and Domain tunnels to raise awareness of how the Bracks government is wasting road safety money.

Whilst the ride was "scaled down" to a single pass through each tunnel (the original plan was for a continuous loop lasting for up to two hours) after negotiations between the MRAA and Citylink. The presence was felt (and heard) both by motorists travelling through the tunnels and via the media in the days preceeding the ride.

Through both direct media reporting and general word of mouth, netrider.net.au was able to spread the word about the unjust spending of tax payers money.

A flyer developed for the ride "Wanted: an explanation for the spending of $14 million for a return of less than $300,00" is available for download by clicking here - please help to distribute this flyer to as many people/places that you can.
