FED:Convoy on way to Parliament House
The convoy of no confidence rolling into Canberra has caused little disruption to peak
hour traffic in the national capital.
About 6.15am (AEST), around 80 trucks drove along Northbourne Avenue into the city
centre and Parliament House this morning.
Police had warned Canberra residents to allow more time to get to work - but it appears
the convoy was smaller than police and organisers had expected.
Opposition leader TONY ABBOTT will address a rally on the lawns in front of the parliament,
demanding a fresh election over the prime minister's broken promise on a carbon tax.
