In s Canberra carpark, on seeing our 'Vote Yes!' bumper sticker:
"That's wrong. Have you been out there?
I have, I've worked there. They already get too much."
(Delivered, unprompted, through half mouthfuls of charity fundraiser roll with sausage, onion and sauce.) (Yes, I could tell.)(Too clearly.)
He was not up for conversation.
For him it is THEM, THERE, THEY. Not us, here, now.
I can't find the lines between selfishness, ignorance, racism and hate anymore, it is all so jumbled-up in post-Howard Australia.
We did not engage. We bought two bins and a rather nice Fiskars #mattock.
#voteYes against #ugly #Australian #racist #fuckery
Generosity, kindness and respect are the weapons that hurt fascists.
