Photos of April 30 taxi drivers blockade in Melbourne

With tactics which are more commonly used in South Asia, Melbourne's taxi drivers demonstrated how a movement can win its demands.

If the cabbies complain of harrassment to the police, the police treat the Indian or Pakistani driver as the criminal.

The Indian & Pakistani drivers showed enormous guts in their protest and threats to blockade parliament house (why didn't this happen during the anti-WorkChoices campaign?) and Melbourne airport.
