Andrew Hopkins, a 67-year-old accountant from Betoota Ponds has called for a ban.
A ban on ‘bans’, unless they are things that are ideologically aligned with his worldview like banning the Burqa, late night pub trade or kids from using smartphones.
Hopkins explained that the spread of political correctness has gone too far.
The Ponds resident, who has been vocal in his letters to The Advocate’s Editor Clancy Overell about the Railway Hotel’s noise pollution in his quiet leafy suburb, explained that the recent plastic bag ban was the watershed moment for him.
“That was the moment I knew I had to stand up. The plastic bag ban is environmental symbolism at it’s very worst,” he said.
“Things are starting to mildly inconvenience me, therefore they should stop immediately”
“I’m sick to death of it. Everywhere you look these days, the left are clawing away at our freedoms and the things that have made this beautiful country what it is today,” Hopkins said.
“You can’t say mankind anymore,” said the father of four who has literally never been pulled up for saying ‘mankind,’ but read it in a News Corp Editorial somewhere.
“This country is getting brainwashed by leftist do-gooders who want us to effectively become a Soviet state.”
Hopkins admitted that he does feel a little bit helpless in the battle against political correctness.
“It’s hard to know how to be effective as an individual against this vague term for an ideology that is seeping into every aspect of my life,” Hopkins explained.
“So I’ve just gotta stick to my guns I guess. Keep posting on Cheryl and my Facebook wall.”
“It’s up to comfortably retired post-war Australians to keep bringing up how bad political correctness is, and keep lecturing my communist children.”
