A local small business-owner from Betoota Heights has today willingly offered his election predictions, while transporting a passenger to Betoota Base Airport at peak hour.
67-year-old cab driver, Weston Pitt (Flight Path District), says judging by what he’s picking up off the people he’s been picking up, it’d be worth putting money on the fact that it’s probably over for old mate.
This is an interesting forecast from a bloke that works in the industry that is most exposed to the angry rants of Ray Hadley and other similarly aged men who make millions of dollars pretending to speak for the common man.
”I don’t have a problem with the bloke” he says.
“But this is just what I’m seeing”
”and hearing”
”Ya know”
While still refusing to offer up any of his own opinions, or voting intentions, Weston sounds like he has been personally wronged at some point by this current government.
”Yeah I feel like a lot of people have had enough”
”Ya know there’s some people out there that are on the verge of blowing shit up”
”And when people feel like that, in this country, the only thing they can do is vote”
Weston continues his act of ‘speaking on behalf of everyone whose been in his cab’ – as he launches into a tirade about that other mob not being much better, and how they are all bloody crooks, before dragging the conversation back to this current mob.
”And another fucking thing” he shouts, as this small talk quickly transforms in a manifesto of disenfranchised white male pathology.
”Who the fuck has he got behind him?”
”Who’s the next cab off the rank? I’ve got no fucking idea”
”What happens if this bastard’s heart gives in and he keels over. Who am I voting for?”
”The talent is thinning mate. It’s thinning out like the bottom of champion ruby pouch”
”I tell ya mate”
”I reckon he’s done”
