A man from Victoria who’s never really been that far north in this country has told people on the internet today that he knows everything there is to know about the live export trade.
And it’s all bad.
Kevin Wapjohns is about 90% sure he’s never been north of Byron Bay, where he was last year for a friend’s second marriage.
He says live export is the one thing he hates more in the world than domestic travel to the tropics.
The 48-year-old spoke to this ‘imbred [sic] newspaper’ (as he called it) via telephone this afternoon where he explained that animals are suffering and the people putting them on boats should be inprisoned [sic] for animal cruelty.
“I don’t think it’s important to have any exposure to Northern Australia or primary industry to make a judgement on it,” he said.
“Last year, I went to see Wake In Fright at the Moonlight Cinema in the Botanical Gardens. I know what it’s like up there,”
“The live export trade needs to end and I don’t care what the fallout is. Those people who work in that 17th-century industry can just go work in the mines, which I also oppose! God! Sometimes I wish all that Crocodile Dundee cultural cringe part of the country would snap off a sink!”
More to come.
