Hack Journo Lifts Another of my Gun Ideas
Michael Duffy is a hack journalist.
Any one that knows me, knows i have been talking for ages about how the Australians of Chinese descent eventually will run the place. They work harder than us, they breed harder than us and they invented Yum Cha. The facts do not lie. We are fighting a losing fight.
Still, i have always said this is a good thing. The world changes. Countries change. Like Nietzche said, " You get cream from butter but arent they both just so tasty." This sounds much more impressive in German.
Y'know what i'm saying ? what a great combo - the ancient wiley Chiney, their exotic looks, their brains, their speed behind the cash register. Alloyed with the best of the Aussie - the irreverence, the wariness of authority - the Jack and Jacqui are as good as their master and mistress, the sausage on bread.
Anyhow, Duffy bailed me up one night when i was talking to Cameron Murphy of the NSW Council of Civil Liberties at the Roxbury.
"Cameron, what about my right to walk to work in Summer without sweat staining all my shirts like a Rorschach test. What about my rights ? Ya pinko. Go back to Balmain." I said ... Then i turned to Duffy and i was telling him about the time i was at a warehouse party in Chippendale and i wandered up to Eloise and a couple of other punters and started declaiming about the Chinese and how they were going to be the greatest thing that ever happened to this country and how we'd all be so hot looking and good cooks and .. and then that bastard Duffy went ahead got a few stats and here it is. Practically word for word what i said, except he thesaurused the verbs.
Plagiarism is a sin. .
