One of your best in a while FD.
Do all jellyfish use Macs?
Oh to have another pair of Irukandji stilts. Dad made us a pair to watch him prawning in the Parramatta River at Putney circa 1958. After my sister fell off and lost her glasses Mum stopped us from walking over the water because it was too dangerous. But she still let us use the billycart even after the same sister’s dress was ripped to shreds by its rusty wheels during a downhill race. If its not parents its governments using the same silly old skewed management policies simply to show they’re ‘doing something’.
This seems like a good argument for retaining the permit system as a safety net in Aboriginal communities. No offence, whiteness is not personal, it is just a toxic ideology often carried by paedophiles, hawkers, used car salesmen, bureaucrats, politicians and/or assorted tourists.
“unless they are jellyfish perverts” - with lines like these u again showcase the sheer idiocracy of conroy and co in a stingingly humorous tale
luv your work guv
go well

Another piece of brilliance — loved the Fielding panel!
Only the pervert ones Matt.
