As long as theres a communication blackout, the Australian state can do whatever it wants to the Truckers without consequences.

Anyone in Australia who can make it, ought to carpool, and drop off volunteers to film the protests, so the police can't get away with anything. There will need to be people also willing to pick up these videos, and upload them from somewhere else because the next thing the state is going to do is use radio and cell jammers, or geofence the area.

Does it end on September 1st?

Most likely, although there has been loose talk of extending it through the week.
Truck strikes have been generally ineffective in the past, often because of a rift between union or Teamster drivers and independents, as well as a perceived moral obligation to not let political debate interfere with delivery of goods.

moral obligation to not let political debate interfere with delivery of goods.

They need to drop that moral obligation nonsense real quick. Thank you though for illuminating a little bit of the Aussie situation for me.

One could argue they have a moral obligation to choke off the cities until the politicians fold.
