Peering into the docks: a conversation with the Wharfies Mural - Overland literary journal
People are deeply curious about the docks. The port is right there, the cranes are giant shapes looming, so often visible, stretches of landscape inviting reflection and curiosity. But the docks are also completely inaccessible. They are non-spaces really, to most people. Exclusion zones.

“ If you sit still and quietly in a natural environment for twelve minutes, then the animals there will go back to how they were acting before you arrived. “
Note Law & Order “Conservative” Politicians in Queensland ran for State election on a four word slogan “Adult Crime, Adult Time” (imprisonment or electronic ankle bracelet for 10 year old children).

Predictably Absolutely no interest in “Adult Work, Adult Wages” from the same pro-business lobby of course.
