“She identified herself as ‘Lois’, she said that she was from the Department of Human Services … and what we were doing was fostering dependence among a section of the Aboriginal community,” he said.

fuckin logged in to post this bullshit. that Tony Straccia removed needs the people’s justice tbh.
super coincidental that the DHS chick also owns a pub next door. not at all suss.
Sparkke really market themselves as being tuned into social issues too, with each of their beer/wine cans boasting a slogan for various causes, like the (paraphrasing) Respect Women Pilsner or Welcome Refugees Ginger Beer. They’ve got a little record of performative action in the city, like the time they sponsored a music festival to get their own branded stage then didn’t pay the dues for like two years
No amount of cans with “nipples are nipples” printed on the side can offset trying to shunt homeless in need a few hundred metres down the road where you can’t see them from your beer garden balcony
