Tim Blair from the Daily Telegraph today talks about the budget and welfare and interviews 7 protestors at Rozella.
The video reveals a number of protesters aren’t from the local community. They’re freelance tax-funded anti-progress activists from all over the place. Here are some of their darling comments:
Protester #1: “I don’t work, as such, I draw pictures on the sand at Byron Bay … you cannot define what sort of person is here. Some people will put us off as dirty hippies, and if you look at me you can say that.”
Protester #2: “I’m a student. I just graduated yesterday, actually. Honours from SCU. I’m a writer. Basically I have the luxury of time on my hands at the moment.”
Protester #3: “I’ve driven about 2000km to be here from the outskirts of Melbourne. I’m a disability pensioner.”
Protester #4: “I’ve been at this particular camp for about two weeks now. I’ve been sort of circling home from Toolangi east of Melbourne. Working’s an interesting concept, you know … people say ‘get a job’ or whatever, you know. We’ve got a job out here. We’re working all the time. We’re working around the clock, you know, and people are doing good work here.”
Protester #5: “I actually was booked to do a retreat in Bali, where I host and it’s where I make money. So at the moment I’m happy the government pays me just to be old. But I had a retreat there, which is to detox the mind and body so the spirit’s free.”
Protester #6: “I’ve lived in my van for the last four years, right around Australia.”
Protester #7: “I’m a student at Southern Cross so I’ve got a couple of flexible units online and I go in to classes on Wednesdays.”
