An employee, who helped me work out my first use of a self-serve printing kiosk, in a shop in Midland, a suburb of Perth, saw the message I was printing onto an A3 sheet. “Is there a rally this weekend?” she asked. Well, my apprehension turned to jubilation, and we had a great empathetic chat about the abrogation of human rights we are suffering here in Western Australia. She is pregnant, due in May with first baby, and she and her husband had attended to protest in central Perth in January. My placard, by the way, says ‘MCGOWAN REGIME is ROTTEN.”
