I was riding next to the organiser near the start, and I heard over her walkie-talkie that the front riders has reached the end of the Story Bridge before we had even reached the start. All the non-participants I spoke to seemed pretty positive about it, too, which is great. Labor state MP Jonty Bush was there too, which was great to see. You can always rely on someone from the Greens, but having Labor on side is a good sign. Less encouraging, some of her comments made it seem like she doesn't necessarily represent all of Labor, and the party as a whole is perhaps rigorously debating the matter internally. permalink fedilink source parent
