Some of their key points were the importance and the need for lockdowns and face masks.

Last month, GoFundMe announced that it has frozen donated funds belonging to Convoy to Canberra group. However, it gave the group a request of January 31 to develop a plan to spend the $160,000 before it is released. Before GoFundMe pulled the Truckers campaign, it had the fifth-highest raised funds in the platform’s history.
