My first job today was a protest.
The group in question protest a lot, usually with high commitment and most often climate based. This time, they were protesting our lazy preparedness against flooding on the eve of the aniversary of Lismore’s floods last year (which are still being cleaned up).
One of the things I find tough about my job is the general cynicism that most causes are greeted with, but I am impressed by the protesters courage and in this case creativity.
The numbers on the walls are significant floods in Launceston’s past (although one a few years ago is not on there and let’s not talk about floods to many others in the country).
A little Alice in Wonderland, a little Pink Floyd and some Stalinist monument.
