00:02This is the sound of over 3,000 angry bikers taking to the steps of Parliament with one
00:12clear message.
00:14Fix the roads! Fix the roads!
00:17We're here because of the bloody state of the roads and we're sick of burying our mates.
00:22There was a minute silence to remember those who've lost their lives on the roads including
00:27Peter Tiki Mason who died on the Western Highway last month when he hit a pothole and John Hogarth
00:33whose family misses him every day.
00:36I lost my brother, a whole family lost their brother, their uncle, our family's been ripped
00:43to pieces.
00:44People have kids and you've got your uncles, your parents, whatever and they're the people
00:50that are dying.
00:51On a motorbike you get cleaned up and there's no coming back.
00:55Politicians capitalising on the anger to make their pictures heard.
00:59We'll invest the $5 billion, we'll do the preventative maintenance so they don't get
01:03the potholes in the first place.
01:04Health, education, infrastructure and emergency services, the four core tenets of what a state
01:10government should do.
01:11It's back to basics.
01:12We're not trying to reinvent the wheel, we've just got to put it back on.
01:16Organisers yesterday spoke with the Premier who didn't make the trip.
01:20Right at the moment we have $1.4 billion.
01:23It's the biggest investment ever in road resurfacing.
01:26I know I've got more to do and that's the message I've been given.
01:29This crowd seems fed up with politics in general.
01:32There's been dissent and anger towards Labor and towards the opposition as Jess Wilson addressed
01:38the crowd and outlined her plan to fix the state's roads.
01:41Put your rubbish of politics aside, work together and fix it for the people of Victoria.
01:48That's all we're asking and we don't care what side of politics you're on.
01:52Sick of the politics, sick of the potholes.
01:55You should never piss off a biker.
02:04You should never piss off a biker.
