Rainbow farts lose their sparkle pretty quickly... and I imagine unicorns are not renewable...

#12. I went to a political forum last night, (Thursday, June 30), with election candidates on stage, held at Rosny College on Hobart's Eastern Shore, organised by The Wilderness Society....
OK, you knew I had mischief on my mind...
Only three candidates fronted, which may indicate the popularity of the organisers... but I do have to commend Labor's John Short for stepping into the breach, and Rob Manson from the Renewable Energy Party. The other one present was Nick McKim, Greens candidate for the senate, but of course he was among friends....
As soon as I walked in the door, I encountered Vica Bayley, State Campaign Director for The Wilderness Society, an old foe, together with a bunch of his friends and fellow organisers of the event. Vica was Master of Ceremonies for the event.
He said in a loud voice, loud enough for others beyond the immediate group to hear: "I hope you are not going to try to disrupt our event here this evening."
Well...!!! That was a red rag, for sure...
I replied in an equally forthright voice: "That's pretty amazing coming from someone like you, who has disrupted so many of our forestry work sites over the years! You have got to be bloody joking!"
The temerity of the bloody little prick...
the first photo is one I took last night with my phone... I sat in the front row. I didn't read their pamphlets, printed on glossy paper, but I did sit there making a paper jet... McKim had his eye on me all night, I bet he thought I was going to launch it at him while he was speaking...
I didn't clap very much, and at the end I asked him from the floor, what did he have in mind with those Contingency Coupes that didn't have any trees in them... he didn't answer, and I offered an observation on his level of honesty and integrity... I don't think he enjoyed it very much... I reckon more of us should challenge their dishonesty, and lack of integrity more often....
