Video / Wayne HirstMotorist Wayne Hirst wasn't waiting around as Restore Passenger Rail protesters blocked all southbound traffic on Transmission Gully. The action appeared to be planned and choreographed, with the vans slowing traffic before the protesters hopped out. Police later arrested 11 people over the protest, which went on to involve protesters gluing themselves to the road. “While police responded immediately and began clearing the road, some of the protesters had unfortunately glued their hands to the road, further delaying traffic and taking up police time.”
