Graham Scholls is a simple man.
He enjoys his dog racing, party pies for dinner and building people’s dreams with his own two hands.
But for all the joy he brings into the lives of everyday Betootanese people, the 49-year-old builder often makes his 17-year-old apprentice uncomfortable by making him critique and watch pornographic videos every now and then.
Blake Washbrook told The Advocate that while his boss is a patient teacher and a genuinely nice man, he feels it’s wildly inappropriate to stand there at smoko and watch a heavily augmented young woman receive the pipe from a blatant steroid user.
“He calls me over and says, ‘Blakey boy, get a load of this!’ and stuff,” he said.
“I have to pretend to laugh and shit, otherwise he accuses me of being a ‘soft’. I actually think this whole thing might constitute as an abuse of power, as I don’t really want to watch a pornographic casting video with my boss at 9 am,’
“But yeah, he even grunts when they get into it and tells me that, ‘he used to root like that back in the day'”
The Advocate reached out to Scholls for comment, but have yet to receive a reply.
More to come.
